Are you looking to impress your guests with a delightful seafood dish that’s both easy to prepare and bursting with flavor? Look no further than our Grilled Brined Shrimp with Garlic Oil! This dairy-free recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual lunch or an elegant dinner. The brining process infuses the shrimp with rich, savory flavors while keeping them succulent and tender on the grill.

The combination of coarse kosher salt, dry white wine, and aromatic spices creates a brine that elevates the natural sweetness of the shrimp. After just a brief marination, the shrimp are carefully grilled, allowing the shells to char and enhance their taste, resulting in a mouth-watering dish that’s sure to become a favorite in your culinary repertoire.

To accompany this exquisite seafood, we serve the shrimp alongside perfectly grilled ciabatta bread, which is ideal for mopping up the luscious garlic oil infused with fragrant cloves. With a preparation time of just 50 minutes, you can serve up to eight guests, making it an ideal choice for gatherings with family and friends.

Garnished with fresh lemon wedges and bay leaves, this dish not only tantalizes the taste buds but also pleases the eye. Dive into this delicious adventure and experience the perfect harmony of flavors with each bite of our Grilled Brined Shrimp with Garlic Oil!
