10-Minute Grilled Shrimp Scampi
Scampi is a dish built around timing: garlic-butter-lemon-wine needs to taste fresh, and that means everything has to come together within a minute or two. A grill gives you the bonus of char on the shrimp in addition to the sauce-based flavor. A 10-minute cook that delivers this much flavor is weeknight gold. Works on any electric grill that hits 400F or higher, a compact balcony grill like the Weber Lumin Compact handles this perfectly for four people.

Pro Tips
Tips for this cook
- ★Wine in the grilling sauce does not fully cook off in 90 seconds per side. That is a feature, you want the wine flavor. If you are wine-averse, substitute chicken broth.
- ★Shrimp over orzo, linguine, or crusty bread, all work. The sauce is the star here.
