Grilled Shrimp
The Grilled Shrimp is one of the most flavorful seafood entrées at Texas Roadhouse. Unlike fried options, this dish offers a lighter and healthier way to enjoy seafood without sacrificing bold flavor. Guests who want a fresh, smoky taste often choose Grilled Shrimp as their go-to order. At the same time, those who prefer a crispy Southern-style seafood dish often go for the Fried Catfish, another guest favorite on the menu.
🍴 Ingredients & Preparation
To begin with, the Grilled Shrimp features a skewer of large shrimp seasoned with garlic butter and lemon pepper, then grilled over an open flame until tender and smoky. It is served with seasoned rice and one made-from-scratch side, such as fresh vegetables or baked potatoes, creating a balanced and satisfying meal.
⚙️ Customization Options
Moving forward, diners can personalize the Grilled meal with different sides or toppings. Guests often request extra garlic butter for dipping or swap seasoned rice for lighter options like a house salad. Some diners also enjoy pairing the shrimp with steak or chicken for a surf-and-turf experience, making it one of the more versatile entrées on the menu.
