  • For best results, use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • If using ketchup instead of seafood sauce, consider adding extra horseradish for flavor.

  • Substitute the seafood sauce for 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce: Worcestershire sauce adds a deeper, richer flavor to the marinade, and will help to enhance the flavor of the shrimp.
  • Substitute the hot pepper sauce for 1 teaspoon of chili powder: Chili powder adds a mild heat to the marinade, as well as a subtle smoky flavor that pairs well with shrimp.

Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and salt in a large bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Transfer shrimp mixture to a serving bowl and serve with toothpicks.



Roasted Potatoes: Roasted potatoes are a perfect side dish to accompany Marinated Shrimp. The potatoes are roasted in garlic, olive oil, and herbs, creating a savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the shrimp. The potatoes also provide a nice texture contrast to the tenderness of the shrimp.


Grilled Asparagus: Grilled asparagus is a great side dish to serve with Marinated Shrimp. The asparagus is cooked with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, giving it a delicious flavor that complements the shrimp. The asparagus also provides a nice crunchy texture that pairs well with the tenderness of the shrimp.
