This is a wonderful treat for those who prefer to change up the marinade with a flavor enhancer. Using lemons and herbs kick up the flavor meter a couple of notches, especially for seafood.

When your using it for a BBQ Shrimp Recipe it’s important to use a good form of marinade to lock in that great taste from the grill. Speaking of grilling, I would recommend using a Weber Ranch Kettle grill for these  types of foods and recipes.

Ever since I had bought a weber grill I have had no problems, it’s easy to start up and it’s very easy to clean up . But enough about the grill let’s look at what goes on with preparing this marinade.

Lemon & Herb BBQ shrimp Marinade  Recipe:

list of ingredients for preparation

1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black Pepper

Start off by Mixing the Lemon juice salt and pepper in a large bowl so no spills will not occur. Next mix in the oil, in small amounts while stirring the bowl until  it’s fully infused with the mixture.

Now mix in the chopped fresh herbs and pour the marinade over the shell on- shrimp. Now allow it to marinade for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator no more than 30 minutes or else the shrimp will become rubbery.

You can remove it from the fridge and remove the shrimp from the bowl, use a small amount of marinade to coat the shrimp before skewering for the grill.

A friend of mine had this to say after trying This out; “This was good on our shrimp. I marinated for 1/2 hour. We liked the thyme and basil mix with the lemon. Not too lemony, just right balance with the herbs”.

As you can see people want to change up cooking techniques for shrimp or any other seafood cooking whether on a grill or skillet.
