If you want to make the best Marinated Grilled Shrimp, here are some easy tips to follow.

Many people ask, “How do I marinate shrimp?”

It’s quite simple actually. First you need to find a recipe for a grilled shrimp marinade. There are so many recipes available. You just need to find the best grilled marinated shrimp recipes that suit your taste.

Although many recipes for marinated grilled shrimp are specified, you can use any marinated shrimp recipe and grill, fry, or bake them. Just because recipes call for grilling the shrimp doesn’t always have to follow that. You can use an indoor electric grill like the George Forman or bake the marinated shrimp in the oven. Frying the marinated shrimp is another option. Especially on rainy days!

Easy Steps to the Best Grilled Marinated Shrimp

1. Buy fresh or frozen raw shrimp. For grilling, I recommend large or extra large shrimp. It is best not to buy precooked shrimp because you will be cooking them again on the grill. Raw shrimp take just a few minutes to cook. For best results and to avoid chewy shrimp, always start with raw shrimp.

2. Clean and devein the shrimp – This assumes you bought shell-on shrimp. (If you purchased shelled and deveined shrimp, skip this step.) Under cold running water, remove the outer shell and legs. Leave the tail intact. Make a small slice along the center of the back of the shrimp and with the tip of your knife, gently remove the black vein. Rinse shrimp and place in a clean container. Repeat until all shrimp are done.

3. Drain any excess water from the bowl of cleaned shrimp. Pat dry with paper towels to absorb any excess water left on the shrimp.

4. Cover and refrigerate shrimp until ready to marinate.

10. Skew shrimp or place in a grilling basket, cook according to recipe directions, and enjoy the best marinated shrimp on the grill.

Here are some simple marinades for grilled shrimp:

1/4 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon dry white wine

1 tablespoon. diluted dried onions

1/2 teaspoon dried basil (1 teaspoon if fresh)

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Place 1 pound raw shelled shrimp in a resealable plastic bag or container with a tight-fitting lid, add the marinade. Close, refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Drain the marinade. Thread the shrimp onto previously soaked skewers. Grill over coals for 6 to 10 minutes. Brush often with the reserved marinade.

1C dry white wine

1C olive oil

1/2 teaspoon chopped basil

1 tablespoon. coarse black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cajun spice (optional)

1 pound long raw shrimp, peeled, deveined (tails removed)

Mix the marinade in a shallow bowl, add the shrimp, cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning occasionally. Set the grill to high heat. Thread shrimp and lemon wedges onto bamboo skewers, alternating each. Grill until shrimp turn opaque. Drizzle occasionally with leftover marinade. roast approx.

3 minutes per side.

If you want a really quick and easy shrimp marinade, buy a bottle of pre-made seafood marinade. My favorites are Lawry’s Tequila Lime or Caribbean Jerk. You can find them at your local grocery store. Marinate raw shrimp for approx. 1 hour before roasting.
