MARINATED GRILLED SHRIMP

Marinated Grilled Shrimp image

A very simple and easy marinade that makes your shrimp so yummy you don't even need cocktail sauce! Don't let the cayenne pepper scare you, you don't even taste it. My 2 and 4 year-olds love it and eat more shrimp than their parents! It is also a big hit with company, and easy to prepare. I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric grill if the weather is not good for outside grilling. Try it with a salad, baked potato, and garlic bread. You will not be disappointed!!!

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp. For this recipe, it's best to use large, fresh shrimp that are peeled and deveined.
Make the marinade ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and penetrate the shrimp.
Don't overcrowd the grill. Make sure to leave some space between the shrimp so that they can cook evenly.
Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
Serve the shrimp immediately. They are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
