Grilled Garlic Shrimp is a quick and delicious recipe to make on the grill. Jumbo shrimp are grilled with a garlic and herb butter for a flavorful dinner that is beyond simple!
Shrimp is a favorite for a quick and easy dinner and the flavor combinations are limitless. I have always loved the shrimp scampi from Red Lobster, so we made a similar version on the grill. It’s even more delicious than the restaurant version!
If you are a seafood fan, you might like our Hoisin Shrimp Stir Fry or this Shrimp Stew for a hearty meal.
Serve your grilled shrimp up with Coleslaw, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits and Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes for a simple and delicious family dinner. These Baked Tomatoes are also delicious with anything on the grill.

How to Make Grilled Garlic Shrimp:
- Place frozen shrimp into a colander and place under cool running water to thaw.
- Peel and devein shrimp. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
- Prepare the grill to a 300° fire with pecan or hickory for smoke flavor.
- Make the garlic and herb butter by melting butter in a small saucepan. Add fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme and kosher salt. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
- Toss garlic butter with shrimp.
- If you have large grill grates, I recommend using a grill pan.
- Place shrimp over indirect heat. Brush excess butter over shrimp.
- Cook until shrimp starts to curl and turn pink, about 7- 10 minutes.
- Remove from grill.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes:
- Recipe can be doubled as needed.
- Look for large or jumbo Gulf Caught Shrimp. They are always delicious and the perfect size for grilling.
How to Cook Garlic Butter Shrimp on the Stove:
- If you are not up for grilling, you can prepare this easy recipe on the stove, using a large non-stick pan.
- Melt butter over medium heat, add garlic and spices, cook for 3 minutes.
- Add in shrimp and cook, stirring often until shrimp curls and turns pink, about 7- 10 minutes.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers:
There’s never any shrimp leftovers at our house and I generally double the recipe. However, if you have leftovers, just store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat by adding about a tablespoon of butter to a skillet and add shrimp, cook for 3- 5 minutes over medium heat until warmed.
