This simple, yet elevated shrimp marinade is garlicky, lemony, and savory all thanks to a few common ingredients! If you're looking to marinade shrimp for grilling, then this is your recipe!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lbs. jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice + more for squeezing on top
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the marinade. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic, dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes into a large bowl. Whisk the marinade together.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the marinade while whisking until all the ingredients are combined.
- Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat the shrimp in the marinade.
- Place the shrimp into the refrigerator and let the shrimp sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, but no longer. If the shrimp sits in the marinade for longer than 1 hour the shrimp may begin to cook in the lemon juice.
- Once your shrimp has marinated, cook in any way your heart desires. We loved this as a grilled shrimp marinade, and recommend grilling your shrimp at 400ºF over direct heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145ºF (USDA)
