Living near the Texas Gulf Coast, we have a ready supply of fresh shrimp. I’ve grown up eating shrimp all my life. In fact, I like shrimp cooked so many different ways my wife and kids jokingly call me the ”Bubba Gump” of the Whitley clan.
A ”can’t go wrong” recipe using Watkins products that will create a shrimp dish to die for, one that will knock your socks off, is Watkins own — “Grilled Fajita Shrimp Scampi.” The best thing about this recipe is how doggone easy it is. Definitely made with the man of the house in mind for its simpleness, but oh is it ever so good. With Father’s Day fast approaching, you might want to surprise Dad and make this his Father’s Day meal.
Read the recipe below and I’m certain it will have your mouth watering.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp/22.5 mL Watkins Fajita Seasoning
- 1 tbsp/15 mL Watkins Onion & Garlic Pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp/22.5 mL Watkins Cilantro
- 6 tbsp/90 mL Watkins Garlic & Parsley Grapeseed Oil
- 1/4 cup/60 mL lemon juice
- 2 tbsp/30 mL Parmesan cheese
- 2 large uncooked shrimp
Instructions
Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl to make a wonderful “Watkins Marinade Mix.” Chill the marinade mix for about 2 hours. Add your shrimp; let this mixture stand for 10 minutes. Remove shrimp from the marinade mix; reserve the liquid. Grill the shrimp until pink; about 2 minutes per side. Bring the reserved marinade mix liquid to a boil. Remove from the liquid from the heat; drizzle over shrimp. Sprinkle (or garnish) with cilantro and cheese.
