If you like a good classic shrimp boil, you’ll love them grilled because grilling just brings out more depth of flavor with a hint of smoke. I have the ideal new summer weeknight meal for you: a quick and easy grilled shrimp boil with large tiger prawns, fresh corn, baby potatoes, and sausage. It’s tossed in a classic seafood seasoning blend and fresh parsley and drenched in creamy melted butter.
