Marinated Grilled Shrimp
A very simple and easy marinade that makes your shrimp so yummy you don’t even need cocktail sauce! I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp. I paired it with a salad and whole wheat pasta. You will not be disappointed!
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- skewers
DIRECTIONS
- In a large bowl, stir together the garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce, and red wine vinegar. Season with basil, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add shrimp to the bowl, and stir until evenly coated. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring once or twice.
- Preheat grill to 450 degrees. Thread shrimp onto soaked skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.
- Cook shrimp on preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.
