Who this list is for
This list is for anyone hosting a backyard barbecue or family dinner and planning to serve grilled shrimp skewers with Old Bay butter as the main dish for six people. It's especially useful if you want to avoid last-minute trips to the store and prefer to prep everything in advance. If you’re new to grilling seafood or just want to keep things organized, this checklist is for you.
How to use this list
Start by reviewing each ingredient and tool before you shop. Check your fridge and pantry for unsalted butter, Old Bay seasoning, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Make sure you have enough large raw shrimp—three pounds is the target for six servings. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Metal skewers are ready to go. Chop parsley, mince garlic cloves, and halve lemons ahead of time. Gather everything before you start cooking so you can move smoothly from prep to grill.
Common mistakes
People often forget to soak wooden skewers, which leads to burning. Double-check your inventory for enough skewers—twelve metal or thoroughly soaked wooden ones. Don’t skip deveining and peeling the shrimp; shells left on can make eating messy. Avoid using salted butter, as it can throw off the seasoning. Some skip fresh parsley or lemons, thinking they’re optional, but both add brightness and balance to the dish.
What is on this list
You’ll need large raw shrimp (3 lb), unsalted butter (8 tbsp), Old Bay seasoning (2 tbsp), lemons (2), garlic cloves (3), fresh parsley (1/4 cup), olive oil (2 tbsp), kosher salt (1 tsp), black pepper (1/2 tsp), and twelve metal skewers.

Before you grill
Before lighting the grill, prep the shrimp by peeling and deveining. Mix the Old Bay butter, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley. Set up your grilling station with all ingredients and tools within reach. If you’re using wooden skewers, ensure they’ve soaked long enough. Double-check that the grill is clean and hot before placing the skewers. After grilling, serve immediately for best flavor.
