How to Make Zesty Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Glaze

1. Prepare the Glaze

Gather all your ingredients and your 10-inch disposable aluminum pie pan. Combine the butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt in the aluminum pan. Place the pan on the hot side of your preheated grill.

2. Melt and Mix

As the butter melts, stir the mixture occasionally to ensure the garlic and red pepper flakes are evenly distributed. The heat will help the flavors meld together, creating a smooth and aromatic glaze. This should take about 1.5 minutes, and you’ll know it’s ready when the butter is fully melted and everything is well combined.

3. Keep Warm

Once the glaze is ready, carefully move the aluminum pan to the cooler side of the grill. This will keep the glaze warm without overcooking it while you turn your attention to grilling the shrimp skewers.

4. Grill the Shrimp

Grill your shrimp skewers as you normally would, making sure they are cooked through and have a nice char on them. The grilling process should take just a few minutes on each side, depending on the size of your shrimp.

5. Finish the Glaze

Just before serving, add the minced fresh parsley to the warm glaze in the aluminum pan. The parsley will add a fresh, vibrant flavor to the glaze, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.

6. Serve the Shrimp

Drizzle the zesty lemon-garlic glaze over the grilled shrimp skewers, making sure each piece is well coated. Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, tangy flavors that complement the smoky, grilled shrimp perfectly.
