Citrus Herb Grilled Shrimp

These Citrus Herb Grilled Shrimp are the perfect summer dish. They're easy to make, flavorful, and healthy. The shrimp are marinated in a tangy citrus and herb marinade, then grilled to perfection. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.

I first developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and flavorful way to cook shrimp. I experimented with different marinades and grilling techniques until I came up with this winning combination. These shrimp are always a hit with my family and friends, and I'm sure you'll love them too.

Prep time: 40 | Cook time: 6 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
2. Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
5. Serve hot and enjoy!

Why It Works

• The citrus juice in the marinade helps to tenderize the shrimp and gives them a bright, fresh flavor.
• The herbs in the marinade add complexity and depth of flavor.
• Grilling the shrimp over high heat quickly sears the outside, creating a nice crust, while keeping the inside moist and tender.
