Drescription

Use this grilled shrimp recipe as a main dish with a side of yellow rice and a green veggie, or use it for yummy shrimp tacos, inside corn tortillas with your favorite toppings. When you want a quick, easy dinner, nothing can beat shrimp to the table! The shrimp marinate in a tasty combination of flavors while the grill is preheating. The other dishes in your dinner need to be ready when the grill is — the shrimp will only take about 4 minutes.
