These past few days have not been fun! This past weekend I felt a combination stomach ache/migraine coming on and by Monday night I had to go to bed pretty early. Today has been miserable, but my wonderful hubby actually took the afternoon off and watched little girl {who we’re pretty sure has what I have – which is super fun,} cleaned, and made supper! My goal for today had been to share my kitchen coffee art I FINALLY finished, but I had absolutely no energy or motivation to take the pictures yesterday or today, so those will have to wait. What I do have for everyone is a super yummy grilled shrimp recipe I found over at C’est pas de la tarte! {MareeAnn’s blog is in French, and she comes up with some pretty unique stuff… this is the first one I’ve been brave enough to attempt!}
- 1 bag large, cooked shrimp {We used Market Pantry}
- 2 cups olive oil
- 2 TBS oregano*
- 1 TBS cilantro*
- 1/2 tsp lime zest
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- Mix all ingredients for marinade and add shrimp, making sure they are well covered.
- Let marinate in fridge for at least 15 minutes. {We made ours before running some errands, so they probably marinated for 1-2 hours.}
- Next remove shrimp from marinade and grill about 3 minutes each side over medium heat. {Wes wanted to use his "actual" grill, so we skewered them, but you can just cook them in a pan on the stove if you want.}
- *The original recipe called for 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, which I discovered we were out of in the middle of making it {I guess Wes used it all up on his Meatballs!} so I subbed oregano & cilantro in it's place. It also called for 2 cloves garlic, which I evidently just skipped for no apparent reason. What can I say, my brain was not fully functioning at this time!
That’s it! We served with rice and steamed green beans & potatoes. I’m not normally a huge seafood person, but I enjoyed this dish. Wes on the other hand LOVES shrimp, and he ate way more than his fair share :).
