How To Make Grilled Shrimp​?

1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Set aside.
2. Marinate Shrimp: In a glass bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, parsley, tomato paste, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
3. Preheat Grill: Set grill to medium heat (375°F / 190°C).
4. Grill Shrimp: Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp turn opaque. Remove from skewers and place in a serving bowl.
5. Serve: If necessary, warm garlic butter in the microwave for a few seconds. Drizzle over shrimp, and serve warm with lemon wedges if desired.

Recipe Tips:

• Marinate for Full Flavor: Let the shrimp marinate for at least 20 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour. Over-marinating can make the shrimp too soft and affect the texture.
• Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright, natural flavor to the marinade, which bottled juice can’t match. This makes a noticeable difference!
• Watch the Grill Time Carefully: Shrimp cook very quickly. Grill for just 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque; overcooking will make them tough.
• Thread Shrimp for Even Cooking: Skewer shrimp close together but without crowding, so they cook evenly and don’t spin around on the skewer.
• Warm Garlic Butter Just Before Serving: Drizzle warm garlic butter over the shrimp right before serving to keep it fresh and flavorful without becoming greasy.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover grilled shrimp cool to room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let the grilled shrimp cool to room temperature, then arrange it in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the shrimp to a freezer-safe bag or container, and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the shrimp on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and warm for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
