This is my very favorite way to prepare shrimp. This garlicky, white wine based marinade made with freshly squeezed lime juice and basil picked fresh from the garden makes for the best shrimp you can have. Keep the leftovers (if you have any) for a fabulous shrimp salad the next day. To make this even better, I got to use the two new kitchen toys I got this weekend, a new cork screw that pulled the cork from my sauvignon blanc very smoothly and a juicer that is not only cute, but got the last drop of juice from my lime.
Marinated Grilled Shrimp
1 lb cleaned shrimp
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup white wine or Sake
4 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of one lemon (or lime)
1 teaspoon dry or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
1 teaspoon dry or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients and add shrimp. Let marinade 30 to 60 minutes.
Skewer shrimp and grill over hot coals until shrimp is pink. 1 to 3 minutes per side, depending on how hot your coals are.
