Lemony Grilled Shrimp

Lemony Grilled Shrimp
based on recipe from America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook

This was a fantastic recipe. Very light and tasted great. I think next time I will double the recipe!

Don't let the shrimp marinate for more than 15 mins or they will get rubbery.

Marinade
1 t grated lemon zest plus 1/4 c fresh lemon juice from two lemons
1/4 c minced fresh parsley
2 T olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 t salt
1/8 t red pepper flakes

Shrimp
1 1/2 pounds extra large shrimp, peeled, deveined & tails removed
1/2 t sugar

For the marinade: combine all ingredients into a bowl and reserve 2 T to a separate bowl for serving.

Toss shrimp with marinade (the original recipe said to butterfly them but I didn't and the recipe still came out great). After 15 mins, skewer and sprinkle one side with sugar.

Grill shrimp, sugared- size down first, flipped once until lightly charred and fully cooked.

Remove from skewers and toss with marinade and serve (I left on the skewers).
