Rosemary Grilled Shrimp
Grilled shrimp that have been marinated in rosemary and garlic have bright, summer flavors that will make you feel like you’re sitting on the beach in Italy.
To get a nice warm wood fire flavor grill the shrimp over lump hardwood charcoal. They work just fine over a gas or briquette charcoal, but wood adds a depth of flavors the others don’t.
When they’re cooked over wood charcoal, these shrimp have a wonderful buttery flavor accented by the rosemary and lemon juice.
Try serving this shrimp recipe with Grilled Asparagus or a nice Orzo Salad with Basil and Tomatoes.
