TIPS

  • Don’t Overcook: Shrimp cook quickly, so watch them closely to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Grill Basket: Use a grill basket or skewers to keep shrimp from falling through the grates.
  • Extra Lemon Zest: For more brightness, sprinkle lemon zest on the shrimp before grilling.
  • Serve Ideas: For a balanced meal, serve with grilled veggies, rice, or salad.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick.
  • Herb Variation: Toss in fresh parsley or basil to add a fresh, herbal note to the dish.
  • Citrus Twist: Use lime or orange juice instead of lemon for a different citrusy flavour profile.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute the butter with olive oil to make the dish dairy-free.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze marinated raw shrimp in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Thaw before grilling.
  • Reheating: Reheat shrimp in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes or until warm.
