Marinade for Grilled Shrimp Recipe

American · Condiment · 10 min total

This zesty marinade infuses shrimp with bright citrus, garlic, and herbs, perfect for a quick and flavorful grilling experience.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over shrimp, turning to coat evenly.
3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
4. Remove shrimp from marinade; discard remaining marinade. Grill shrimp over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.

Tips

• Do not marinate shrimp for more than 2 hours, as the acid can begin to cook the shrimp.
• Pat shrimp dry before grilling to ensure a nice sear.
• Leftover marinade can be boiled and used as a sauce if desired.
