Marinated Grilled Shrimp

Written by on in Appetizer, Dinner, Lunch, Main Course

My sister shared this recipe with me last summer, and it’s gone into high rotation in our household. You can use fresh or previously frozen (thawed) shrimp. A quick 20 minute marinade with pantry staples, and you have delicious shrimp that can be served hot, room temperature or cold! They make a great entree, or serve them as an appetizer. I prefer them with grilled veggies, but serve with whatever sides you wish.
