Texas Roadhouse Grilled Shrimp Appetizer
My variation of TR grilled shrimp skewers.
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (450 g or 14 oz)
- 3½ tbsp butter (55 g)
- 1 tsp lemon zest (grated)
- 1 clove garlic (grated)
- ⅓ tsp salt
- dash of pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 bagels
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- 3 lemon wedges
Instructions
- Allow the butter to soften at room temperature or soften it on the stovetop. Be careful, as the butter may start to melt. Stir it continuously.
- Add lemon zest, grated garlic, salt, and pepper to the softened butter. Mix well.
- Thread the shrimp onto wooden skewers and coat them with the garlic-lemon butter on all sides.
- Prepare a grill pan and heat olive oil in it. Once hot, add the shrimp skewers and grill them for about 4 minutes on each side.
- When the Texas Roadhouse-style shrimp are done, place them on a plate and prepare the toasted bread or bagels.
- Cut the bagel in half and spread butter on each half. Place them on the grill pan until they are toasted. This should only take between 30 seconds and 1 and a half minutes, depending on the heat.
- Serve the toasted bagels alongside the shrimp skewers with a lemon wedge. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the skewers. If you have any extra lemon-garlic butter, melt it and serve it as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
