Photo: Kristi Rimkus

Ingredients

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed

2 tablespoons basil, fresh and finely chopped

1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons olive oil

Preparation

Peel and devein shrimp.

Combine remaining ingredients and marinade shrimp for 20 minutes.

Preheat grill and grill shrimp until done. Shrimp only takes minutes to grill. Grill one side until pink, then turn and grill the other side until pink. Shrimp should curl slightly. If they are curled into a ball, you’ve cooked them too long and they will be tough and chewey.

About

I firmly believe my best meals are made from the freshest ingredients I can find. Fresh lemons, fresh herbs, fresh garlic. When you want to cook lean, it’s the only way to go. When you reduce fat and salt, you have to boost flavor. This recipe for grilled shrimp really proves my theory (although I can’t take credit for that theory, many people believe the same.

Give this recipe a try. The shrimp are so moist, tender and full of flavor that you won’t miss the extra sauces.
