Recipe from The Girl on Bloor

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients for marinade together then marinate shrimp in a medium-sized bowl for 15 minutes.
  2. GRILLING METHOD: Preheat BBQ to 425 F. Add shrimp to skewers, then place on a baking sheet. Drizzle some extra marinade overtop then discard remaining marinade. Grill shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. 
  3. STOVETOP METHOD: Add 1 tbsp butter or olive oil to a large skillet over med-high heat (I recommend butter for better flavor). Add shrimp along with marinade to skillet, sauteeing for 3-4 minutes or until shrimp are pink and no longer translucent. 
  4. BROILER METHOD: Set oven to broil on high. Add shrimp to skewers, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle some extra marinade overtop then discard remaining marinade. Broil shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side (watch closely) until pink and fully cooked. 

Mary-Beth says: “High in protein and important minerals, shrimp is a nutritious dinner; and this marinade makes it stellar!
