Course Main Course

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • tongs
  • metal skewers (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb medium or jumbo shrimp
  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • seasonings of choice; such as, herbs (1/4 cup parsley), 5 cloves of garlic and 1/2 squeezed lemon, OR 2 tsp honey, 2 chipotle peppers, 1 squeezed lime, and 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • The first step to irresistible shrimp is a quick marinade! The flavor combinations here are truly endless, and should be customized to your taste buds. Some great options include combining garlic, fresh herbs and white wine, or chipotle peppers, honey and lime. Whichever flavor combos you choose, combine the ingredients into a bowl with the shrimp and marinate for about 15 minutes
  • While the shrimp Is marinating, heat your grill to around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Alternatively, if you plan to skewer your shrimp, do so before heating the grill. (Skewering your shrimp is a great option to keep them cooking evenly while on the grill, allowing you to turn multiple shrimp at once)
  • Once your grill is heated, place shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes on each side. Shrimp will be opaque white and pink when cooked
  • Finish the shrimp with a squeeze of citrus if you desire, and serve hot off the grill
