Description

Delicious Cajun Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp Skewers packed with flavor, perfect for a summertime BBQ.


Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined with tails on

1 stick Danish Creamery European-Style Sea Salt Butter melted

3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

2 tablespoons parsley chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

Juice of 1 lemon

Skewers

Optional: Lemon slices for garnish


Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine melted butter, Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each shrimp.
  • Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  • Remove from grill and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon slices, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, allow the shrimp to marinate longer. Soaking wooden skewers in water beforehand helps prevent burning on the grill.
