BBQ Seafood with Lemon Garlic Butter

This BBQ Seafood with Lemon Garlic Butter is a delightful and flavorful dish featuring a variety of seafood grilled to perfection and topped with a rich, zesty lemon garlic butter sauce. The smoky BBQ flavors pair wonderfully with the freshness of the seafood and the bright, garlicky butter, making it a fantastic summer dish or special occasion meal.

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

For the Seafood:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
  • 1 pound scallops (fresh or thawed)
  • 2 lobster tails (optional, for a more indulgent option)
  • 1/2 pound firm white fish fillets (such as snapper, halibut, or cod)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

For the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Seafood

  • For the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika (if using).
  • For the Scallops: Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • For the Lobster Tails: Cut the lobster tails down the center, slightly splitting them open, and season with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • For the Fish Fillets: Season the fish fillets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika (optional).

2. Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and golden brown.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and thyme (if using).
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Grill the Seafood

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • For shrimp and scallops, thread them onto skewers (if using) or place them directly on the grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the scallops develop a golden crust.
  • For lobster tails, place them flesh-side down on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip them over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the meat is opaque and firm.
  • For fish fillets, grill them for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they flake easily with a fork.

4. Serve

  • Once the seafood is cooked, arrange it on a platter.
  • Drizzle the lemon garlic butter sauce generously over the seafood.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips

  • Skewering Seafood: If you’re grilling small seafood like shrimp or scallops, skewering them makes flipping easier and prevents them from falling through the grates.
  • Grill Basket Option: If you don’t want to deal with skewers, a grill basket is an excellent alternative for smaller seafood items.
  • Add Heat: If you like a little heat, you can add red pepper flakes or a small chopped chili to the lemon garlic butter sauce for an extra kick.

This BBQ Seafood with Lemon Garlic Butter is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, combining the smoky char from the grill with the creamy, zesty sauce for an unforgettable meal! 🍤🦞🌽
