Notes

For extra flavor, let the shrimp marinate in the garlic butter mixture for 15-20 minutes before grilling. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the garlicky sauce and pair with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze for up to three months, ensuring they are thawed properly before reheating. Remember that fresh ingredients will always yield better results than dried substitutes!
