Doing some ribeyes on the BGE later today. Picked up some fresh shrimp to grill with them. Anyone have an easy marinade recipe or seasoning favs? Don’t grill shrimp much but we love to eat em.
Thanks!Great thing about shrimp is they really take on any flavor marinade. Just be careful of anything acidic for to long as it will chemically “cook” the shrimp. Otherwise it comes down to flavor choice.
We like marinade in many forms:
Beer and garlic
White wine and garlic
Tequila lime and salt
Teriyaki
Lemon
Lime
Have used 7up and lime also.
Just to name a few but really the flavor combinations is sky high.
Yes sir thanks!If you use acid like soy sauce, citrus or wine or combination of those just go maybe 15 or 20 minutes then to the grill.
Man I am going to order that and the scallop tray! Thanks!WE GOT A CAST IRON SHRIMP TRAY A COUPLE YEARS AGO FROM AMAZON AND NEVER LOOKED BACK, PERFECT EVERY TIME. RAY

Thanks!We grill a lot of shrimp and Eric has you covered on marinades. I usually don't marinade, but apply a sauce after the shrimp are done. I just brush with melted butter. I like a citrus sauce such as lime and soy or just squeeze on fresh lemon juice. Only point of emphasis from me is do not overcook the shrimp...
Man that’s sounds good! I do chicken and chops in that at times. Didn’t think of it!Believe it or not but zesty Italian dressing is darn good to (works wonders on chicken to) just be mindful of the vinegar content (acid)
Grilled Shrimp: skewers and flipThanks!
It will deliver tomorrow. Can’t wait to try it out. Be metal skewers today.Man I am going to order that and the scallop tray! Thanks!
Try a simple marinade of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate the shrimp 15–30 minutes, then grill 2–3 minutes per side until opaque. You can also use Old Bay, Cajun seasoning, or a garlic-soy-honey glaze for variety.Great thing about shrimp is they really take on any flavor marinade.

Guy on river been using Sprite to marinade catfish. He been trying to get us to try it.Have used 7up and lime also.
I will defiantly try that! Great combo!The suggestions already posted here will serve you well. But a fun variation takes advantage of how nicely a shrimp wraps around a disk of andoiille on the skewer
