These past few days have not been fun! This past weekend I felt a combination stomach ache/migraine coming on and by Monday night I had to go to bed pretty early. Today has been miserable, but my wonderful hubby actually took the afternoon off and watched little girl {who we’re pretty sure has what I have – which is super fun,} cleaned, and made supper! My goal for today had been to share my kitchen coffee art I FINALLY finished, but I had absolutely no energy or motivation to take the pictures yesterday or today, so those will have to wait. What I do have for everyone is a super yummy grilled shrimp recipe I found over at C’est pas de la tarte! {MareeAnn’s blog is in French, and she comes up with some pretty unique stuff… this is the first one I’ve been brave enough to attempt!}
Easy Grilled Shrimp
SUPPLIES
- grill or skillet
- skewers
Ingredients
- 1 bag large shrimp cooked
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 TBS oregano
- 1 TBS cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp lime zest
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp coarse salt
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients for marinade and add shrimp, making sure they are well covered.
- Let marinate in fridge for at least 15 minutes. {We made ours before running some errands, so they probably marinated for 1-2 hours.}
- If using a traditional grill add shrimp to skewers, otherwise cook in skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes each side
That’s it! We served with rice and steamed green beans & potatoes. I’m not normally a huge seafood person, but I enjoyed this dish. Wes on the other hand LOVES shrimp, and he ate way more than his fair share :).

April 26, 2012 at 4:21 amThat's awesome! I'm pretty sure Wes would grill every day if he could get away with it lol… what is it that attracts men to the grill so much?!
