Easy Grilled Shrimp
Summer is not here yet, but you still want to grill? Celebrate National Shrimp with easy grilled shrimp! We skipped the butter and used healthy Villa Graziella Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lemon & fresh parsley for flavorful skewers. Serve with spring veggies or orzo. Enjoy for lunch the next day in a salad. Serves 2 to 4.
Easy Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds fresh, medium sized, deveined shrimp
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
*Add your choice of fresh herbs; basil, marjoram, sage, rosemary, oregano or thyme
Simple Directions:
Soak wooden bamboo skewers in cold water
Peel shrimp & refrigerate
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, minced garlic, salt & pepper
Add shrimp to the bowl, toss to coat, cover, or place in a zip lock bag, seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
Preheat grill to 160°F
Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail & once near the head.
Discard remaining marinade
Lightly oil grill grate.
Grill 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque
Remove from the grill, let rest for 3 minutes, serve & enjoy with your favorite Villa Graziella Organic wine.
Helpful Hints:
· Marinate for no more than 30 minutes so the shrimp does not become too soft.
· Don’t have a BBQ? broil shrimp on a sheet pan in the oven at 350˚F for 7-8 minutes, turning once.
