Grilled Herb Shrimp is awesome to serve for your special Memorial Day dinner. I used an Ina Garten recipe as a starting point and served the shrimp with a baked potato and fresh corn. It doesn't get much better than this!
Ingredients
I used the following ingredients to make the Drilled Herb Shrimp: Fresh tail-on shrimp that had been de-headed, peeled and deveined, and the marinade consisting of garlic, onion, fresh parsley, basil, dry mustard, Dijon mustard, Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, olive oil and fresh lemon juice. I know that's a lot of ingredients, but what a delicious result!
Making the Grilled Herb Shrimp
After I de-headed, peeled and deveined the shrimp, I made the marinade. I added the shrimp to the marinade, covered it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for several hours. I also put the wooden skewers into a lidded container of water for a good soak. The reason for this is that the dry skewers tend to burn on the hot coal fire.
The shrimp that I got used were 16 to 20 per pound. I put five shrimp each on five of the skewers.
The Master Taste Tester took over with actually grilling the shrimp over hot coals.
After a little over 2 minutes per side, the shrimp were perfectly cooked and incredibly delicious. Yum!
If you'd like to make the Grilled Herb Shrimp part of a Surf n' Turf meal, why not try Grilled Baby Back Ribs with Bourbon Infused Grilling Sauce or Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs. The Grilled Herb Shrimp is great with a baked potato and some fish corn, but it also pairs very nicely with a Caesar Salad and some Crispy Smashed Parmesan Potatoes.
