Grilled Garlic Chardonnay Shrimp

Grilled Garlic Chardonnay Shrimp


Grilled Garlic Chardonnay Shrimp is a delicious dish that pairs tender, smoky shrimp with a buttery, garlicky white wine marinade. It’s perfect for summer grilling or anytime you want a light and flavorful seafood dish. Here's how to make it:


Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off, as preferred)
  • 1/4 cup Chardonnay or another dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together Chardonnay, olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for basting later.

2. Marinate the Shrimp:

  • Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes to avoid over-softening the shrimp.

3. Preheat the Grill:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

4. Skewer the Shrimp:

  • Thread the shrimp onto skewers (optional but makes grilling easier), leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.

5. Grill the Shrimp:

  • Place the shrimp on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
  • Baste with the reserved marinade during grilling for extra flavor.

6. Serve:

  • Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Serving Suggestions:

  • With Rice or Pasta: Serve the grilled shrimp over fluffy rice or a bed of buttered pasta to soak up the extra sauce.
  • As an Appetizer: Serve the shrimp on a platter with a creamy dipping sauce or aioli.
  • In Tacos: Use the shrimp as a filling for soft tacos with shredded cabbage, avocado, and a drizzle of lime crema.

This Grilled Garlic Chardonnay Shrimp is quick to make, full of bold flavors, and perfect for pairing with a crisp glass of white wine. Enjoy!
