Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp is super quick to cook. I like to grill vegetables first before I put on the shrimp because the shrimp grill so quickly. You can use metal or wooden skewers but I prefer to use a grill pan because there is no messing with skewers.
The recipe is served with pasta but you can easily substitute that out for rice.
Cost Per Serving $4.56 as of May 2023
Fish is more expensive than other meats so the cost per serving is a lot higher. It is not really a budget friendly protein.
If you have ZERO ingredients then this recipe will cost about $18.22.
If you have a stocked pantry this dish will cost you about $13.43.
- Cost per serving reduces to $3.36.
I am assuming you have salt and pepper and do not add it into the recipe total cost.
