As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients for this marinade. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page. In addition to shrimp of your choice, you will need:

How to Make Lemon Garlic Shrimp

Just combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced parsley, garlic and spices in a jar. Secure the lid and shake well until the mixture is completely combined. You can store the marinade until ready to use, up to 3 days in advance.

How long do I marinate shrimp?

This is an acidic marinade because it contains lemon juice. You can marinade the shrimp for up to 30 minutes, but do not allow it to sit longer than that. If you marinate the shrimp too long in an acidic mixture, it will compromise the texture of the protein.

Do I have to use a grill?

No, this recipe will also work for marinated and sautéed shrimp. Simply discard the marinade and heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil and sauté 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and no longer pink.
