Lemon-Basil Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Lemon-Basil Grilled Shrimp Skewers deliver bright citrus and fresh herb notes balanced by garlicky depth and a buttery finish. Marination with Dijon adds gentle tang and helps the shrimp caramelize on the grill, giving a tender, juicy bite. Serve this dish for a summer cookout, a quick weeknight dinner, or as an impressive appetizer.

    In a shallow, non-porous dish or bowl, combine the olive oil and melted butter. Mix in the lemon juice, mustard, basil, and garlic, then season with salt and white pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto skewers. Discard the marinade.

  3. 3

    Lightly oil the grill grate and place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 4 minutes, turning once, or until opaque.
