Tasty Tuesday: Grilled Shrimp
I know it's Wednesday -- I've been technically challenged this week and couldn't get this to post! Oh, and I procrastinated a bit...
I've written about this place before:
I found a new spice mix there that I used to make these beauties:
It's the "Coastal Blend" and it is light and lemony and garlicky and all the good things that shrimp needs. And very, very easy.
I put about a dozen cleaned shrimp into a Ziploc bag and added about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mixed that around to coat the shrimp, then sprinkled in about 2 teaspoons of the spice. Tossed the shrimp in the bag and took a look -- they all had visible spices on them, so I decided that was enough. (Like how exact I am?) Then I added a couple of teaspoons of lime juice and let the shrimp sit until the grill was hot.
This time, I just put them in a grill basket. Sometimes I'll skewer them, but was too lazy to work that hard. About 7 minutes on the grill, tossing them around a bit, and they were done to perfection.
Of course there are all sorts of spice mixes that work with shrimp - this is just moving up my list of favorites. The process, though, would work for anything you're putting on them: garlic, cayenne, lemon pepper...Keep it simple and enjoy the summertime grilling!
