A delightful recipe for grilled shrimp skewers marinated in a flavorful garlic basil sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Ensure the butter is fully melted to blend well with the other ingredients.
Add the cleaned shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Marinating for longer enhances the flavor, but avoid exceeding 2 hours to prevent the shrimp from becoming mushy.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Serve the grilled shrimp skewers hot with your choice of sides and enjoy.
Garnish with additional fresh basil or a wedge of lemon for a fresh touch.
