Grilled Garlic Butter Shrimp
The lemon garlic butter sauce is simply perfect! Pair with a glass of wine and crusty bread for the best 30 min meal ever!
Why does grilled food taste better?
Is it because we grew up roasting marshmallows, and then picking off the charred off bits, which were clearly the best parts?
Because that’s exactly what’s happening here.
The charred, smoky, grilled shrimp is just so much better than stovetop shrimp!
Maybe it’s the grill marks. Or maybe it’s the garlicky, lemon butter sauce.
Or maybe it’s the wine or the crusty bread to soak up that garlicky goodness.
I simply don’t know.
