Maggie's Menu:

It feels like spring in DC!  Today I enjoyed my walk to Eastern Market in 70 degree weather and left with shrimp for dinner.  I created a less salty take on this recipe and served it with roasted tomatoes, asparagus, and brown rice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoons coarse salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ½ to 2 pounds shrimp, peeled, rinsed and dried
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions:

  1. Heat a gas grill.
  2. Skewer shrimp.
  3. Mince garlic with salt; mix with cayenne and paprika, then make into a paste with olive oil and lemon juice.
  4. Smear paste on both sides of skewered shrimp.
  5. Lay a piece of non stick covered aluminum foil on the grill and place skewers on top.
  6. Grill shrimp about 5 minutes a side, turning once until lightly charred.
  7. Serve immediately or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.

This recipe yields about 4-6 servings
