ReplyDeleteHi Liz, we should be able to grill here most of the winter, we usually have pretty mild winters here.
DeleteThis shrimp looks so delicious and flavorful! I'm so glad grilling season is not quite over!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz!
DeleteShrimp that have already been deveined are the best! This definitely looks like an awesome weeknight meal!

DeleteSo nice to see grilled shrimp at this time of year. We're still loving grilling but I know it's not so easy for some right now. I heard it snowed in Michigan this last week! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI know we are having the hottest October on record ever it has been in the low nineties high eighties. You can see now why we are grilling. Crazy, weather for sure!
DeleteWe watched an insert of The Kitchen last night and Geoffrey Zacharian said not to add salt to the marinade as it starts cooking the shrimp. I've never heard that before. My husband also does the barbecueing under my directiongby ha ha
ReplyDeleteOh how I admire that man, one of my favorites for sure. Thanks Tandy!
DeleteCheri: This look like a perfect weeknight meal. I'm glad you and your husband work so well together. D
ReplyDeleteWell most of the time;) thanks Dena!
DeleteOh, this sounds like my kind of meal! It's a bit cold to pull the grill out these days, but I might just have to in order to get these grilled shrimp. They sound amazing! :-) And, yes, I love getting shrimp already deveined, too. Saves so much time!
ReplyDeleteLiving in the desert allows us to grill most of the year, sometimes in the summer it is so hot we cook indoors, crazy right?
DeleteYummy! I'm drooling cos I love BBQ or grilled shrimps ... perfect with basil garlic oil !
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, quick and easy is the best.

ReplyDeleteThanks Natalia, we enjoyed them very much.
DeleteThis looks so darn good! Love that basil garlic oil...would be great to go with some pan seared cods too.

DeleteLove those shrimp from Costco! In China they never take the shells or the heads off, because they say it gives more flavor. Love this simple dish. Often they are the best!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I'm sure they are right Abbe, I just don't care for the head on my food. Take care!
DeleteOh Cheri, your shrimps look perfect...and nicely coated...I too love these shrimps from Costco...you cannot go wrong with it.

ReplyDeleteI love when we grill! Ok, I mean I love when my husband grills! He hasn't yet grilled any seafood because he is intimidated by it, but I think this would be a great recipe for him to try. I love your tip about grilling unpeeled shrimp. I would have never tried it that way.
