Delicious Grilled Garlic and Herb Shrimp
This dish is a masterpiece that transforms humble shrimp into a flavor festival! Perfect for those nights when you want to impress someone or just your own taste buds. Let’s go ahead and make a plate of deliciousness!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (get ready for some flavor punch!)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (liquid gold, yum!)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon (goodbye blandness!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers (soak these in water for about 30 minutes if you’re grilling, trust me!)
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s get our shrimp marinating. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, parsley, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix it up like you’re auditioning for a cooking show!
- Add the shrimp to the magic marinade and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This is a good time to practice your dance moves in the kitchen.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using wooden skewers, don’t forget to thread the shrimp onto the skewers. You can alternate with veggies if you’re feeling fancy!
- Grill the skewers for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You want the shrimp to be pink and opaque—no one likes a shrimp that looks like it skipped its tanning session.
- Once they’re done, take them off the grill. Try not to burn your fingers; they’re good for eating!
- Serve your tasty shrimp on a plate, and don’t forget to give them a little sprinkle of extra parsley for that professional touch.
And there you have it, folks! A plate of grilled garlic and herb shrimp that could charm the scales off a fish. Serve it up with some crusty bread, because you’ll want something to soak up all that flavor goodness. Dig in and enjoy the shrimpiness!
