Instructions:
-
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat until completely liquefied.
-
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat, then add in the Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, lemon juice, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic cloves, freshly ground pepper, salt, and a dash of hot sauce for that extra kick.
-
Mix the ingredients until they are thoroughly blended, forming a fragrant and flavorful marinade. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
-
Place the large shrimp in a glass baking dish, forming a single layer to ensure even marination.
-
Pour the prepared marinade over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is generously coated. Cover the dish and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse into the shrimp.
-
After marinating, remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and drain them, reserving the marinade for basting.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
-
Thread the shrimp onto skewers if desired, or place them directly on the grill grates.
-
Grill the shrimp for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque, with slight char marks.
-
While grilling, continuously baste the shrimp with the reserved marinade, infusing them with extra flavor and moisture.
-
Once fully cooked, remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or additional sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
-
Serve the Perfect Grilled Shrimp hot off the grill, alongside your favorite side dishes or atop a bed of fluffy rice or crisp salad greens. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with each juicy bite!
Notes:
- For a spicier kick, add more hot sauce or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Ensure the shrimp are evenly sized to ensure uniform cooking time on the grill.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the shrimp to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Leftover grilled shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, perfect for adding protein to salads or pasta dishes.
