Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Garlic-Butter Shrimp Skewers.
Step 1
To start, grab a resealable plastic bag and toss in your chopped parsley along with a generous drizzle of olive oil.
Step 2
Next, add the shrimp, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in that delicious marinade.
Step 3
Squeeze out any excess air, seal the bag tight, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Step 4
For the last half hour of marinating, don’t forget to soak your bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 5
When you’re ready to cook, fire up your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.
Step 6
Take the shrimp out of the marinade and carefully thread them onto the soaked skewers.
Step 7
Sprinkle them generously with seasoned salt for that extra flavor kick.
Step 8
Now, let’s make the butter-parsley sauce! In a grill-safe pan, combine the leftover marinade with some butter and minced garlic.
Step 9
Place this pan on the grill while you cook the shrimp.
Step 10
Grill the skewers for about three minutes on each side, watching for that beautiful pink color and firm texture to develop.
Step 11
Meanwhile, let the butter and garlic mixture simmer on the grill until it turns a lovely golden-brown, which should take about four to five minutes.
Step 12
Once the shrimp are perfectly cooked, slide them off the skewers and toss them in that fragrant butter-parsley mixture to coat them in all that goodness.
Step 13
Serve your shrimp skewers hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade dish! This recipe is not just a meal; it’s a celebration of fresh ingredients and outdoor cooking that will surely impress your family and friends.
