Grilled Garlic Shrimp
Grilled Garlic Shrimp is a quick and delicious recipe to make on the grill. Jumbo shrimp are grilled with a garlic and herb butter for a flavorful dinner that is beyond simple!
Shrimp is a favorite for a quick and easy dinner and the flavor combinations are limitless. I have always loved the shrimp scampi from Red Lobster, so we made a similar version on the grill. It’s even more delicious than the restaurant version!

Serve your grilled shrimp up with Coleslaw, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits and Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes for a simple and delicious family dinner. These Baked Tomatoes are also delicious with anything on the grill.

How to Make Grilled Garlic Shrimp:
- Place frozen shrimp into a colander and place under cool running water to thaw.
- Peel and devein shrimp. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
- Prepare the grill to a 300° fire with pecan or hickory for smoke flavor.
- Make the garlic and herb butter by melting butter in a small saucepan. Add fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme and kosher salt. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
- Toss garlic butter with shrimp.
- If you have large grill grates, I recommend using a grill pan.
- Place shrimp over indirect heat. Brush excess butter over shrimp.

- Remove from grill.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes:
- Recipe can be doubled as needed.
- Look for large or jumbo Gulf Caught Shrimp. They are always delicious and the perfect size for grilling.
How to Cook Garlic Butter Shrimp on the Stove:
- If you are not up for grilling, you can prepare this easy recipe on the stove, using a large non-stick pan.
- Melt butter over medium heat, add garlic and spices, cook for 3 minutes.
- Add in shrimp and cook, stirring often until shrimp curls and turns pink, about 7- 10 minutes.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers:
There’s never any shrimp leftovers at our house and I generally double the recipe. However, if you have leftovers, just store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat by adding about a tablespoon of butter to a skillet and add shrimp, cook for 3- 5 minutes over medium heat until warmed.
