Description
Grilled shrimp marinated in lemon juice, olive, oil, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Perfect for cookouts!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds jumbo unpeeled shrimp
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Prep shrimp. Using a pair of kitchen shears, cut through shell along the back of each shrimp. Devein shrimp but leave the shells on.
- Marinate shrimp. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour the lemon mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp to the bag; seal bag, and turn to coat shrimp. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- Grill shrimp. Heat grill or grill pan to high. Clean and oil grill. Remove shrimp from marinade, wiping off excess. Grill until shrimp are opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Notes
- You can reserve some of the marinade (before adding it to the raw shrimp) to serve with the cooked shrimp, if desired. I have always found the shrimp to be so flavorful that it did not need the extra drizzle of lemon and herbs.
