Fresh garlic and garlic salt are both used to flavor these grilled shrimp. Try not to marinate for more than 30 minutes because the acid in the lemon juice will begin to deteriorate and mush up the delicate shrimp meat. There are 26 to 30 extra large shrimp in a pound.

- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined

- Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Reviews
I marinated as per receipie but took out frying pan, added butter & coconut oil, adjusted spicing and fried; served with spagetti. A good alternate way of doing schrimp.
