Flavor-Packed Grilled Shrimp You’ll Want All Summer Long

ByJennifer

Grilled shrimp is one of the easiest and fastest proteins to cook and it’s a blank canvas for flavor! Whether you’re craving something bold and spicy like Cajun or cooling and tropical like mango habanero, a quick marinade can totally transform your shrimp game.

These simple flavor combos use pantry staples, take just minutes to prep, and are perfect for tossing on the grill. Pair them with rice, pasta, salads, or even tuck them into tacos for a fresh summer dinner!

Grilled Shrimp Seasonings

  • Lemon Pepper– This is a great option to pair with rice or pasta!
  • Cajun-Style– That spicy heat goes perfect with potatoes. You can do smashed potatoes or even boiled potatoes to calm the flames on your tongue!
  • Chili-Lime– That zesty flavor is perfect to make tacos with or even a shrimp taco salad for an even lighter meal.
  • Greek-Inspired– This shrimp with a little feta is the makings of a wonderful flavorful but not overwhelming salad. You can even use the shrimp cold the next day!
  • Ginger Soy Glaze– This seasoning on shrimp can turn a sad rice bowl or stir-fry into a yummy, packed meal. As a bonus these are really common low-cost ingredients too!
  • Spicy Mango– Summer time always seems to want to mix spicy and sweet, so this is the perfect combo. Serve it with a salad or some nice cool refreshing coleslaw!
  • Sweet & Spicy BBQ– I was weary of BBQ shrimp until I tried it and was amazed at the flavor. It’s a little unexpected but totally worth it!
  • Herb & Olive Oil- I feel like this is really just a classic seasoning for grilled shrimp and can used in so many. I prefer to serve it over pasta!

Grilled Shrimp Summer Dishes

Grilled shrimp may give a fancy feel but in reality, it is a great quick dinner! I have also been seeing lots of great prices for shrimp lately so it can be super affordable too.

Keep an eye on the price differences between tail/shell on shrimp versus already peeled and deveined shrimp. The cost can be huge, so it can be worth it to take the time to prep the shrimp yourself!
