Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds large shrimp preferably with shell and head on
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prepare your grill for direct heat cooking and preheat to high heat (around 500°F).
  2. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil and seafood seasoning, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Place the seasoned shrimp directly on the grill grates and cook for 2-3 minutes until shells turn pink and grill marks appear.
  4. Flip the shrimp and grill for another 2-3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and firm.
  5. While shrimp cook, add butter, minced garlic, seafood seasoning, and red pepper flakes to a preheated cast iron skillet on the grill. Stir until the butter melts and combined.
  6. Grill the lemon halves cut-side down until charred for added flavor.
  7. In a large serving bowl, combine grilled shrimp with garlic butter sauce, and squeeze the grilled lemon juice over the top. Toss gently and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the spice level by varying the amount of red pepper flakes. For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with high-quality plant-based butter. Leftover shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently on the stove to avoid rubbery texture. This recipe is perfect for gatherings and can be served as an appetizer or main dish. Enjoy the lively atmosphere of sharing this delicious, interactive dish!
