Ingredients

8 servings

1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined, or medium shrimp)
⅓ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (or ¾ teaspoon dried basil)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 clove garlic (minced)
¼ cup salted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Steps

In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, and parsley. Set aside.
In a glass bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, tomato paste, basil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium heat (375°F).
Thread the shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side or just until the shrimp are opaque. Remove from skewers and place in a serving bowl.
If needed, warm the garlic butter in the microwave for a few seconds to melt. Drizzle the garlic butter over the shrimp and serve warm with lemon wedges if desired.
