Easy Marinated Chilled Shrimp Food

MARINATED GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a jar with a lid, combine all of the marinade ingredients. Shake until completely combined.
• Place shrimp in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade in the bag with the shrimp. Seal the top of the bag and place shrimp in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes (but not more than 2 or 3 hours).
• Remove shrimp from the bag and discard the marinade. Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill over high heat for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through. If you prefer, you can also broil the shrimp on a sheet pan in the oven for about 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Garnish with fresh lime wedges and additional chopped parsley.

COCONUT-LIME MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic and add to the bowl along with the red pepper flakes, canola oil, coconut milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges. Reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels; don't worry if the coconut milk has hardened while it was in the refrigerator. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
• Top with the sliced scallion and serve with the reserved lime wedges.

• Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.

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.

• 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.
