Grilled Marinated Shrimp image

Whenever summertime comes around, I look forward to making this shrimp recipe on our outdoor grill. I've served this to guests, alongside a nice green salad and a pitcher of margaritas. Simple and delicious. Note: You can try broiling the shrimp in your oven for about 8 minutes instead of grilling but I have never personally tried them that way. Prep time includes marinating in the refrigerator.

Time 3h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
24 large raw shrimp, shell on
lime wedge, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix together the olive oil, fresh lime juice and seasonings in a bowl.
  • Split the shrimp up the back with a sharp knife to allow the marinade to penetrate. Leave the shell on, but try to remove the vein.
  • Add the raw shrimp to the marinade and refrigerate, covered, for about two to three hours.
  • Remove from the marinade and grill the shrimp for about 4-5 minutes, until done. Make sure not to overcook your shrimp or they will be rubbery.
  • *You can also broil the shrimp indoors. It would take about 8 minutes*.
  • Serve on a big platter with lime wedges.
  • Peel and eat!
