National Grilling Month: Summertime Grilled Shrimp
Need to fix dinner but don’t want to heat up the kitchen? Look no further! Easy grilled shrimp!
We skipped the butter & used Villa Graziella Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lemon & fresh parsley for these flavorful skewers. Marinate for 30 minutes so the shrimp does not become too soft. Serve with seasonal veggies, orzo & enjoy for lunch the next day in a salad. Serves 2 to 4.
