Shrimp
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Butter Garlic Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Texas Roadhouse seasoning or a mix of paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper
- Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensuring the shrimp are dry helps the seasoning stick better and achieves a nice sear during grilling.
- Make the Garlic Butter Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Texas Roadhouse seasoning. Mix well to infuse the butter with garlic and spices.
- Season the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a large bowl and pour the garlic butter seasoning over them. Toss gently to coat all shrimp evenly with the mixture. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F, to ensure quick cooking without drying out the shrimp.
- Grill the Shrimp: Place the shrimp directly on the grill grates or thread them onto skewers. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
- Serve: Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve immediately with any remaining garlic butter drizzled on top or a fresh squeeze of lemon, if desired.
Notes
- Use large shrimp for best texture and ease of grilling.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using to prevent burning on the grill.
- Adjust seasoning to personal taste, especially the amount of cayenne for heat.
- Serve with lemon wedges or over a fresh salad or rice for a complete meal.
- Can be cooked in a grill pan indoors if outdoor grilling is not available.
