Easy Grilled Shrimp


Everyone loves this shrimp recipe - it's super easy and really good! Don't use small shrimp...they'll fall through the cracks on your grill.

Easy Grilled Shrimp

2 lb. shrimp
1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 T. fresh parsley, minced
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper

Rinse shrimp under really cold water. Remove shells & devein (if you didn't buy them that way). I keep the tails on so they are easy to turn on the grill. Sprinkle shrimp with 1 tablespoon kosher salt and a sprinkle of fresh ground black pepper. Set in a bowl or ziplock bag with the juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, parsley, and a good drizzle of olive oil (about 1/4 cup). Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Grill on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side. They cook quick, so watch 'em! Serve as an appetizer or as a meal with tomato bread and a fresh veggie.
