Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a resealable plastic bag, combine the chopped parsley and olive oil. Add the shrimp, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Remove excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. Simultaneously, submerge the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. (Marinating time: 2+ hours, Soaking time: 30 minutes)

02

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and carefully thread them onto the soaked skewers. Generously season the skewered shrimp with seasoned salt. In a grill-safe pan, combine the remaining parsley marinade with the butter and minced garlic. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Grill the shrimp skewers, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and firm to the touch, approximately 3 minutes per side. Concurrently, place the grill pan on the grate, allowing the butter-parsley mixture to melt and simmer until the butter achieves a light golden-brown hue, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the grilled shrimp from the skewers and gently transfer them into the simmering butter-parsley mixture. Toss to ensure the shrimp are thoroughly coated in the flavorful sauce. Serve immediately, relishing the symphony of flavors. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic-butter sauce.
Be sure not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
Serve with crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
