Tangy Grilled Shrimp

When it is warm and I don’t know what to cook it seems like shrimp is my go to. I can put it in a bowl to marinate early in the afternoon and by dinner time it is ready to cook after being in the delicious sauce. Grilling the takes no time. In this meal the hardest thing was making the rice!

Verdict: This dish has a bit of a tang to the sauce. If you are going to use the sauce over your rice you want to use the precooked shrimp and make sure they are thawed and detailed before adding them to the marinade. Then when you remove the shrimp from the sauce bring the sauce to a boil for 2-5 minutes to make sure that it is safe to eat.
