Texas Roadhouse Grilled Shrimp
Description
The Texas Roadhouse Grilled Shrimp recipe starts by marinating peeled, deveined large shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This leads to a tangy and herbaceous flavor profile that infuses the shrimp before grilling. The marinade time ranges from 20 minutes to up to 2 hours, ensuring the shrimp remain juicy and flavorful without overpowering their natural sweetness.
After marinating, the shrimp are threaded onto soaked wooden skewers to facilitate even grilling and prevent burning. Cooking over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side allows the shrimp to turn opaque and develop light charred marks without becoming rubbery. Serving the shrimp immediately with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and lemon wedges adds brightness and a fresh finish to the dish.
This grilled shrimp is ideal for serving as a simple entrée or appetizer, pairing well with grilled vegetables, rice, or fresh salads. It offers a balanced, citrusy, and mildly smoky seafood preparation that highlights the shrimp's natural flavor enhanced by the herbs and spices.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp tails on, large, raw, peeled and deveined
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika

- lemon for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder and paprika. Place the shrimp in the bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours. While the shrimp is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Then thread the shrimp gently onto the wooden skewers.
- Place the skewers directly on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
- Serve immediately garnished with the fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Enjoy!
Notes
