Grilled Shrimp Scampi
Grilled Shrimp Scampi features plump shrimp soaked in a bright mix of lemon, garlic, parsley, and a hint of red pepper, then kissed by the grill for smoky, juicy bites. It’s vibrant, garlicky, and lightly spicy with fresh citrus notes, perfect for a quick dinner or a shareable starter. The same approach works beautifully with scallops for a seafood twist.

Preheat the grill to high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any leftover marinade.

Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque.
