The inspiration for this recipe came to me on a hot summer day. I was craving something light and refreshing, but I also wanted something that was flavorful and satisfying. I thought about grilled shrimp, but I wanted to do something different with them. I decided to marinate the shrimp in a simple lemon-herb sauce, and the results were amazing. The shrimp was so juicy and flavorful, and the lemon-herb sauce gave it a bright and refreshing taste. I've been making this recipe ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
