WORLD'S EASIEST GRILLED SHRIMP
This grilled shrimp recipe is so simple and yet such a crowd-pleaser. Note: I've made these shrimp immediately and I've also let the marinate in the fridge and both taste great. It just depends how much time you have. Lastly, they are great as an appetizer, on a hearty salad or as a main dish.

Steps:
- Rinse shrimp thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and optional wasabi powder in a bowl. Add shrimp, ensuring shrimp are evenly coated.
- Heat a non-stick grill to medium high and lay down the shrimp when the grill comes to temperature. Shut the lid and check in two minutes as they cook quickly. Flip and cook for another minute or so. Remove from heat, cover in foil and let rest for 5 minutes. (The meat should no longer be translucent inside).
- Serve with melted butter or cocktail sauce or just peel and eat.
- Choose the right shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp with a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are frozen or have a slimy texture.
- Prepare the shrimp properly: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for easy skewering.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs enhances their taste and keeps them moist during grilling.
- Use the right skewers: Choose metal or bamboo skewers that are long enough to hold the shrimp without overcrowding.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure the shrimp cook evenly and quickly.
- Grill the shrimp: Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and opaque.
- Serve immediately: Serve the grilled shrimp skewers hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as lemon butter sauce or garlic mayonnaise.
