Marinated Grilled Shrimp

These marinated grilled shrimp were beyond tasty. Beyond fantastic. The marinade adds so much flavor to each and every bite. And the dipping sauce? Perfect. This dish reminded me of an amped-up peel-and-eat shrimp boil. We both enjoyed these shrimp tremendously. I’m a major shrimp-aholic. But that doesn’t mean I’m not a little bit picky about them. These passed all of my tests with flying colors.

Marinated Grilled Shrimp

It’s hard to think of anything I’d change when making these marinated grilled shrimp. Maybe I’d just say it makes one serving, because I certainly could’ve eaten more. I grilled up a few pieces of bread for soppin’ because I knew that the dipping sauce was going to be great long before I even made it.

I used my grill basket when I made this dish. It’s great for anything I need to flip that I might worry about falling thru the grates. And it makes for easy cleanup.

Also try my easy grilled Cajun shrimp and my delicious peel and eat grilled shrimp. Into sous vide? You can make crazy good grilled shrimp with an immersion circulator.
