Simple Grilled Lime & garlic shrimp fiesta

My husband HATES sea food and loves this shrimp. I almost fell over when he told me he liked it because he is so anti shrimp it's almost obnoxious. Sooo I share this with you all and hope you love it just as much as we do and just so you know, only marinade this shrimp no more than an hour, otherwise it will be VERY tart.

Take 1-2 whole limes and juice them. I picked up a cheap juicer at walmart for like 3 bucks. Pour the juice in a medium sized bowl.

add two tablespoons of organic soy sauce

and one teaspoon of olive oil

chop three garlic cloves

finely chop 1/2 cup parsley

Set aside

Either buy precooked large to jumbo shrimp or do the work like I do and cook it and peal it yourself.

Side note about shrimp for beginners: DO NOT THAW SHRIMP IF IT IS RAW. First, read the bag, it will tell you if it is precooked, the easiest way to tell if it doesn't is if the shrimp is pink it is cooked, if it is gray you need to boil it. Fill a pot full enough with water to boil the shrimp, add some salt, a good amount, probably a tablespoon or more. Dump the frozen shrimp into the pot, it will sink to the bottom. When it floats to the top, it is cooked! Remove from water, let cold water run over it and peal if needed.)

Once your shrimp is ready, add to the lime marinade, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, you really don't want to go over an hour, but no less than the 30 minutes.

You can skew the shrimp on a skewer or use a veggie grilling basket, which I prefer (it's so much easier) You don't even have to grease it! ( I got mine for a few bucks from Pampered chef and use it more for shrimp than I do veggies haha)

Grill for just a few minutes on medium heat, if you cook shrimp too long it gets smaller and rubbery. You can flip it if you want, but it's not needed. Remove from grill and either eat alone or serve with other things. I often like to put the shrimp back into the marinade and let it sit a minute before I serve, it is perfectly safe because your shrimp should be fully cooked before you even begin to marinade.

IDEAS TO SERVE WITH:
Rice
the roasted corn salsa
make a tortilla with it
I like to add it into the tomato chili pepper soup
the ideas can be endless, get creative and enjoy!
