One of my favorite shrimp dishes to order at Red Lobster is the garlic-grilled shrimp. This recipe consists of shrimp skewers that are brushed with a buttery garlic glaze. The glaze is used both as a marinade and for brushing while the shrimp are being grilled.
The glaze is gets a lot of flavor from garlic, butter, and lemon juice. For this recipe I would recommend using at least large shrimp.
You can serve this shrimp with wild rice on the side. Make sure if you are using wooden skewers to soak them in cold water for several hours so that they do not catch fire on the grill. Enjoy.
