Key Lime Shrimp


Need an AWESOME 4th of July marinade for grilling shrimp?  I have tried many that are just good but not GREAT.  Well I have now found THE BEST shrimp marinade on Pinterest!  And it’s great on chicken as well.  Our dinner guests have raved about how good it was, not one lil' shrimpy was left over.  Don’t let the ingredients scare you; they blend together well to create a unique savory flavor!


Key Lime Shrimp
* 3 tablespoons soy sauce
* 2 Tbs. honey
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* Juice of 1 Lime (lime juice equivalent is 1.5 Tablespoons)
* 1 teaspoon minced garlic

This marinade provides good coverage for about 1 lb of jumbo shrimp, double recipe as necessary.  Marinade for a few hours in the fridge, stirring occasionally.  Using a grilling skillet/basket, toss on grill for a few minutes, DON’T OVERCOOK.  Grill long enough that they are warmed thru, over grilling causes shrimp to ‘cook down’ too much.

Hyde Helpful Hint: When using the same tablespoon for measuring, measure the vegetable oil first, that way when you measure the honey, it won’t stick to your tablespoon, it will slide right off and into your bowl.
