Yummy shrimp!

This is QUICK, easy and oh, so yummy. It is actually supposed to be grilled, but with just doing enough for Richard and I didn't want to fool with the grill (and boy am I glad), so I vote for preparation option 2.

Yummy Shrimp

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Cajun or Greek seasoning
  • Fresh minced garlic (2 large cloves or 3 small)
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, de-veined, tail on

Preparation:

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning and garlic in a small bowl. Place shrimp in a glass dish and drizzle with mixture, turning to coat. Cover and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Option 1: Soak 4-6 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes. Preheat grill or broiler, then thread shrimp on to pre-soaked skewers. Broil or grill for 2-3 minutes each side.
Option 2: Spray saute pan with olive oil spray, saute on med-high for 4 minutes or until shrimp is pink and slightly curled, do not overcook. Remove shrimp to plates. Continue to cook sauce until it is golden and reduced. Spoon sauce over shrimp and serve.

This would be great over some pasta or rice, but we just ate it with a salad and veggies and LOVED it.
