Grilled Shrimp

Serves 6

Elizabeth Jacobs

These are so good, I make them for almost every dinner party we have! Jon tends to leave them on too long - be careful.

ingredients

2 lbs peeled and deveined raw shrimp (tails on)
3 crushed garlic cloves
1 1/2 t salt
Black pepper
1/2 c brown sugar
3 T grainy mustard
1/4 c cider vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
6 T olive oil

directions

1
The night before, place shrimp in shallow bowl. Mix all else, oil whisked in last, and pour this over shrimp. Refrigerate overnight, turning once if you remember.
2
Bring to room temperature before grilling. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers.
3
Grill 2-3 minutes per side or until they are just opaque.

notes

The original recipe requires that this marinate overnight -- although, honestly, the more often I make it, the less I think that's necessary. 6 hours ought to be fine.
