Grilled Rosemary Shrimp is a simple yet elegant dish where juicy shrimp are marinated in a zesty lemon and rosemary mix, then grilled to smoky perfection. These shrimp are skewered on fresh rosemary sprigs for extra aroma and flavor—perfect for entertaining or an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on optional)

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tsp lemon zest

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary (plus extra whole sprigs for skewers)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  2. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.

  3. If using rosemary sprigs as skewers, strip most of the leaves off the bottom and soak the sprigs in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.

  4. Thread shrimp onto rosemary sprigs or regular skewers.

  5. Preheat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates.

  6. Grill shrimp for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until opaque and slightly charred.

  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For even more flavor, toss grilled shrimp with extra lemon juice and rosemary before serving.

  • Serve over pasta, salad, or rice for a full meal.

  • Swap fresh rosemary with wooden skewers if you don’t have sprigs on hand—just add rosemary to the marinade.
