Sherrill'S Shrimp
Juicy shrimp marinated in a tangy lime and garlic blend, then grilled to perfection—ideal for seafood lovers seeking bold, zesty flavors with a smoky touch.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate large shrimp in melted butter, lime juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, crushed garlic, and Worcestershire sauce for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat grill or broiler to 450°F (232°C).
- Grill or broil the marinated shrimp for 5 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve with grilled vegetables if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce to the marinade. If you don't have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard can work as a substitute. Fresh shrimp is best, but frozen shrimp can be used; just ensure they are fully thawed before marinating. This recipe is versatile and can also be adapted to other seafood recipes, like a zesty Orange Scampi.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled shrimp alongside grilled vegetables for a colorful and nutritious meal. A light salad or rice would also complement the dish well. For an appetizer, pair it with a creamy dip, such as Hot Shrimp And Crab Dip. This dish is perfect for summer barbecues or any seafood-themed dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover shrimp should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 2 days for the best quality. To reheat, place the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the shrimp rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp, but make sure they are fully thawed before marinating. Thawing shrimp in the refrigerator overnight is the best method, as it ensures even thawing and maintains the shrimp's texture.
What can I serve with Sherrill's Shrimp?
Sherrill's Shrimp pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. You can also serve it over rice or pasta for a heartier meal. For a festive touch, consider serving with a side of crusty bread to soak up any leftover marinade.
How do I know when the shrimp are fully cooked?
Shrimp are fully cooked when they turn opaque and form a 'C' shape. Typically, grilling or broiling for about 5 minutes is sufficient, but if you're unsure, you can cut one open to check; it should be pearly white and not translucent.
