- 2 pounds raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on or off)
- 1/3 cup olive oil (infused olive oils like garlic or lemon olive oil work great)
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar (rice vinegar or white vinegar work well too)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 small lemon, juiced)
- 6 cloves garlic (crushed, about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 teaspoons grill seasoning (we use Kinder's Buttery Steakhouse Rub)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Thaw shrimp (if frozen), rinse, and pat dry. Set aside.
In a mall bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine remaining ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Place shrimp and marinade in a gallon sized zip-top bag, seal, and move contents around until marinade is evenly distributed. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
Grilling the Shrimp
Heat grill to 400 degrees (or medium high heat)
It is easiest for flipping purposes to skewer the shrimp before grilling, but you can also place shrimp directly on the grill.
Grill 2-3 minutes on each side or until pink, opaque, and cooked through.
Serve with lemons, melted garlic butter, and/or cocktail sauce.
