There's nothing better than late night shrimp dinner by candle light...on my patio with a glass of California Sauvignon Blanc.This very simple and easy marinade makes your shrimp so yummy you don't even need cocktail sauce!
It is also a big hit with company, and easy to prepare.
I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric grill if the weather is not good for outside grilling.
Try it with a salad, baked potato, and garlic bread. You will not be disappointed!!!
I got the recipe from AllRecipes.com
