Description

Grilled shrimp marinated in lemon juice, olive, oil, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Perfect for cookouts!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Prep shrimp. Using a pair of kitchen shears, cut through shell along the back of each shrimp. Devein shrimp but leave the shells on.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
