Grilled Marinated Shrimp

Drescription

This shrimp marinade made with lemon juice, parsley, and other simple ingredients makes the best grilled shrimp. I grill the shrimp on skewers for an easy summer meal on top of salad or pasta!

Ingredients

1 cup olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails attached
6 skewers

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Whisk olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper together in a mixing bowl. Reserve a small amount for basting later.
Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate shrimp in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Preheat a grill to medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any remaining marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook shrimp until opaque, about 5 minutes per side, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Ancho Chicken Breast with Black Beans Bell Peppers & Scallions

In this healthy chicken recipe, the meat is rubbed with ancho chile powder, a spice made from dried poblano peppers. It adds mild heat and subtle smokiness to the rub on the chicken, but you can use regular chili powder here instead. This recipe makes an extra 1/2 cup of the black bean mash--try it wrapped into a burrito for lunch or as a taco filling (see Tips, below).
