Lemon Garlic Marinade

This lemon garlic marinade is bright, savory, and aromatic with a layered flavor profile that’s both fresh and deeply satisfying.

Ingredients

  • Garlic delivers bold, pungent, and slightly sweet undertones once cooked, forming the backbone of the dish’s savory flavor.
  • Shallots add a mild, slightly sweet onion flavor with just a hint of sharpness, rounding out the garlic and enhancing overall depth.
  • Bay Leaf infuses the oil with a subtle earthy, herbal note during cooking, adding background complexity.
  • Parsley brings a fresh, clean, slightly peppery finish that brightens the dish and balances the richness of the oil and garlic.
  • Olive Oil acts as the flavor carrier, mellowing the aromatics while adding a fruity richness that complements the shrimp.
  • Lemon adds a bright, acidic lift that cuts through the oil and enhances the freshness of the herbs and aromatics.
