Notes
For extra flavor, marinate shrimp in the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you like your shrimp spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Serve Mediterranean shrimp with a side of tzatziki sauce, a refreshing yogurt-based sauce made with cucumbers, garlic, dill, and lemon juice.
For a complete Mediterranean meal, pair Mediterranean shrimp with roasted vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.
