I love easy dinners and great taste is a must. That’s why grilling is so great. It makes meals quick, easy and delicious, like my Mediterranean Shrimp recipe.
Marinate your shrimp ahead of time to infuse the Mediterranean flavors into your seafood. It always transports me back to my own visits along the Mediterranean sea. The secret to tasty meals like this one is using fresh produce and herbs. It’s an easy touch, yet so important to creating natural flavors and textures in a meal.
