Garlic Grilled Shrimp




I've recently discovered how much I love my George Foreman grill. Thanks, Lisa! :) If you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, it's very simple to grill up some shrimp and make a healthy salad! 

You could also make some grilled veggies!

Ingredients:
1 cup small shrimp (thawed if frozen) 
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon shallot, minced (optional)





Combine olive oil, herbs, spices, and garlic together in a bowl. Add thawed, cooked shrimp. Let sit to marinate for about 20 minutes. Plug in your Georgie, give it a good coat of olive oil cooking spray and you're all set to go! If you are using pre-cooked shrimp, all you need to do is heat them long enough so they're warm. If you're using uncooked shrimp, cook them for about 3 minutes on each side (or until they're pink in color).



The cool thing about this recipe is that the juices that are created when the shrimp are "cooking" make a great vinaigrette dressing for a salad!


Grilled shrimp + spring salad mix + tomatoes + avocado = big smiles.
