These delicious grilled garlic butter shrimp are one of my favorite things to make when we grill out. They’re fast to prep, fast to cook, and they deliver big flavor. Tender, juicy shrimp marinated in a warm garlic butter sauce make them the perfect appetizer or side.
They’re so easy to make. Make sure to completely thaw your shrimp if using frozen which I usually do. If I’m running short on time, I’ll submerge them in a bowl of cold water to speed up the thawing process. Drain and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder and drizzle them with olive oil.
Now you slide them onto skewers or if you have a blackstone you don’t have too and can just dump them on the hot griddle. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they’re pink and cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Remove them from the grill and place them in a pan. Melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder. Pour the warm melted butter over the shrimp and give it a stir.
And that’s it, you’re ready to enjoy them!

Grilled Garlic Butter Shrimp
Ingredients
Method
- Thaw the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Skewer shrimp onto skewers. If you have a Blackstone, that’s not necessary. I dump them directly onto the hot surface.
- Grill for about 5 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink. Cooking them too long will make them tough and chewy.
- Remove from grill and place in a pan or bowl.
- Melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder. Pour it over the cooked shrimp.
- Serve hot!
