Grilled Garlic & Herb Shrimp
Got any plans for the long Memorial Day weekend? Of course you do – you’re going to fire up the grill! The weather in Chesterfield will be great, so why not? But you’re going to need something really special to throw on the grill that will send waffs of savory smells throughout Westmont so that you’re neighbors in the community will know that your grilling skills are not to be toyed with. Don’t worry, I got you. Check out this recipe for grilled shrimp that I found on AllRecipes.com!
Grilled Garlic & Herb Shrimp
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons ground paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 pounds large shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined
Directions
- Whisk the paprika, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, basil, and brown sugar together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Stir in the shrimp, and toss to evenly coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, turning once.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
- Remove shrimp from marinade, drain excess, and discard marinade.
- Place shrimp on preheated grill and cook, turning once, until opaque in the center, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
I thought there was some kind of rule about not allowing grills at Westmont per City of Chesterfield Ordinance? So can we or can’t we have grills?
Wow, I’ve never heard of that ordinance. Let me double-check on it and get back. Thanks for the feedback!
