These easy lemon garlic grilled shrimp skewers are healthy, incredibly flavorful, and quick to make with just FIVE simple ingredients.
Why This Recipe Works
So easy & quick — 20 minutes! That’s all you need to make this lemon garlic shrimp. When you’re in a pinch and not sure what to make for dinner, this is IT! It just doesn’t get any easier.
Easy to double (or triple!) — We’ve all been there with the unexpected dinner guests. The good news is you don’t have to worry about what to make. Just thaw some extra shrimp and double the ingredients.
The best butter sauce — The first time I made a butter sauce I died, went to heaven, and came back reincarnated as The Butter Sauce Queen. And then? Then I added shrimp to the butter sauce and I ate it every night for five straight nights in a row. No lie, you’ll make this butter sauce once, add the lemon shrimp, and never look back.
Works as a main dish or an appetizer — I sometimes make this lemon shrimp as an appetizer too. Put three or four shrimp on a skewer, baste in butter sauce, grill, then add the skewers to a plate before pouring over more lemon garlic shrimp sauce. YUM.
