Ingredients

1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 garlic cloves, finely grated

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 small ciabatta loaf, halved crosswise

Flaky sea salt, for serving

Directions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach about 400°F. If using a grill pan on the stovetop, heat it over medium-high heat until it is hot and lightly smoking.
In a medium bowl, combine the grated garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the garlic-herb mixture and toss gently until all the shrimp are evenly coated. Set aside.
Place the ciabatta loaf halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 2–3 minutes until the cut sides are lightly charred and crispy. Remove from the grill and set aside on a cutting board.
Place the marinated shrimp directly on the grill grates, arranging them in a single layer. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are opaque and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F. Do not overcook.
Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic bread with additional olive oil and finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Serve the shrimp alongside the herby garlic bread immediately.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4

Shrimp and garlic bread are both readily available at all major Charlotte chains, making this a straightforward shop. At roughly $12–14 for shrimp and $3–4 for a quality ciabatta, the cost per serving lands around $4–4.50, which is reasonable for a seafood dish. The stated 10 minutes is honest if your grill is already hot and shrimp are peeled; however, most home cooks will need 12–15 minutes once you factor in prepping the garlic bread. This reheats poorly—the shrimp toughens and the bread dries out—making it a same-night dish that works well for a quick weeknight dinner but isn't forgiving for leftovers.
