    Grilled Shrimp with Basil and Lemon: A Delicious and easy Stay at Home Parent Recipe

    As a stay at home parent, quick and easy recipes are a must. I’m always looking for ways to get dinner on the table in no time, while still providing a nutritious and delicious meal. One of my favorite go-to recipes is grilled shrimp with basil and lemon. This simple dish is packed with flavor, takes just minutes to prepare, and will have your family begging for more.

    This dish requires just a few ingredients and can be made on the grill or in the oven. For this recipe, you will need 1 pound of large shrimp, 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil, 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced, 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

    To begin, preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, basil leaves, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are combined. Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated with the marinade.

    If using the grill, place the shrimp on skewers so they are easier to handle. Place them on the hot grill grates and cook for 2 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque. If using an oven, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.

    Once cooked through, transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving plate and squeeze some extra lemon over them for added flavor. Serve immediately with some steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a delicious meal that your family will love!

    As a stay at home parent who is always pressed for time but still wants to make nutritious meals for my family every night, I’m so thankful that I have recipes like this one in my arsenal!
