OVEN GRILLED SHRIMP
I love shrimp, it is probably my favorite food. Even though fried is my favorite, grilled is a close 2nd. I decided to try baking it in a marinade to see if it was as good as grilled and was pleased with the results. It was very quick, easy and delicious. I hope you try this way when you are hungry for delicious seafood.

Tips:
- Use large shrimp for best results. Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Do not overcrowd the shrimp on the baking sheet. Leave some space between each shrimp so that they cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will prevent them from burning.
- You can also grill the shrimp in a grill pan on the stovetop. Just be sure to preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat before adding the shrimp.
- If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- You can marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking. This will add flavor to the shrimp.
