The heat of Summer is here! We love it, but it can make grilling seem like a chore. Don't sweat it, try this fast marinade for a great quick meal on the grill. It's super simple to mix up and the shrimp only need to marinate 15 minutes. They can sit longer in the refrigerator if needed, but it is not necessary. Simply throw them on the skewers over med-high heat. About 3 minutes per side and that's it!
After you pull them off, squeeze half a lime over them and sprinkle with cilantro if desired. Now enjoy your fancy, restaurant style dinner.
