EASY GRILLED SHRIMP



Easy Grilled Shrimp image

When you want a quick, easy dinner, nothing can beat shrimp to the table! The shrimp marinate in a tasty combination of flavors while the grill is preheating. The other dishes in your dinner need to be ready when the grill is, because the shrimp will only take about 4 minutes. Use this grilled shrimp as a main dish, with a side of yellow rice and a green veggie, or use them in yummy shrimp tacos, inside corn tortillas with your favorite toppings.

I love trying new things on the grill. Some disasters have occurred (don't ask), but this was a huge success!! Easy and quick. If you don't make some pasta or something filling to serve on the side, you'll have to beat them away from your grill with a spatula.

Time 40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing
1 lime, juice of
1/2 cup salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Mix Italian dressing (I use Kraft Zesty Italian) and lime juice to make marinade.
  • Place shrimp in resealable container.
  • Pour marinade over shrimp and gently stir.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. No longer than that or the acid in the lime will start to "cook" the shrimp.
  • Thread shrimp on skewers and place on prepared grill. Be careful not to overcook.
  • Dunk hot, grilled shrimp into melted butter and eat as many as you can!
  • I usually serve linguini with butter and parmesan cheese with this.
