Why you should make these grilled garlic shrimp kabobs
- This recipes requires very little prep and very few ingredients.
- The shrimp take less than 10 minutes to cook, which means you can get dinner on the table FAST.
- The garlic and ghee sauce tastes absolutely amazing – you won’t be able to stop eating them.
Ingredients
- Raw shrimp – use medium to large shrimp (sized between 31-40), and make sure they’re defrosted if they were previously frozen!
- Lemon – I love Meyer lemons, but any lemon will work, or just use lemon juice.
- Garlic – the recipe calls for 3 cloves. Use less for a lighter garlic flavor or more for a heavier garlic flavor.
- Parsley – be sure and use flat leaf parsley, not the curly kind.
- Ghee – the recipe uses unsalted ghee. You could also use unsalted butter if you don’t have a dietary restriction.
- Oil – this recipe calls for extra virgin olive oil, but any higher heat oil.
- Spices – kosher salt (I use Diamond Crystal brand) and ground black pepper.
