Grilled Lemon Garlic Shrimp
6 servings
30 minutes
Lemon-garlic grilled shrimp is a dish that captivates with its freshness and aroma. European cuisine is known for its combination of simple yet rich flavors, and this recipe is a vivid example. Shrimp soaked in salt and sugar become tender, while the marinade of olive oil, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic adds a savory depth. Grilled to a golden crust, they remain juicy inside, with a light smokiness enhancing the flavor. Serving with lemon wedges makes the dish even brighter. These shrimp are perfect for a summer outdoor dinner paired with a glass of white wine or a light salad. Quick to prepare yet exquisite in taste, they will adorn any feast and provide gastronomic delight.
