There’s nothing quite like the flavour of shrimp fresh off the grill. This simple BBQ shrimp recipe is quick, delicious, and perfect for warm summer nights. Whether you're cooking for two or a crowd, these skewers are always a hit — just don’t blink, or they might disappear before you get a bite!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 lb peeled shrimp (tail on or off)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of half a lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chili flakes or paprika for a bit of kick
- Skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 20 min)
Instructions:
- Prep: In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and any extras you like.
- Skewer: Thread shrimp onto skewers so they’re easier to flip and don’t fall through the grill grates.
- Grill: Preheat BBQ to medium-high. Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and slightly charred.
- Serve: Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and serve hot over rice, salad, or grilled veggies.
Tip: Shrimp cook fast — don’t walk away from the grill! Overcooked shrimp = rubbery shrimp.
