Grilled Shrimp with Garlic Marinade

how to make marinated shrimp. shrimp marinade recipe. grilled shrimp skewers.

Steak and shrimp were on the menu at a recent family get-together. Both were loved by all, but these shrimp were hands down everyone’s favorite. My mother-in-law was kind enough to share the recipe and I’m please to be able to share it with you!

Because shrimp cook so quickly, I can make them on an indoor grill pan in less time that it takes to get the outdoor grill ready, but feel free to grill them outside if you like.

Marinade shrimp for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Any longer than that will negitively effect the texture so keep that in mind.

Place the shrimp on skewers if you like, and grill for one to two minutes per side.

Tip: Properly cooked shrimp should end up shaped like the letter “C”. If you overcook them, they’ll resemble more of an “O” shape.

Super simple and really yummy. Enjoy!
