Easy Breezy Shrimp

This is not only an easy recipe, but the marinade is good for any fish, chicken, or meat. The shrimp that I have pictured here are from Costco and they are large...they are probably 16-20 shrimp per pound or less...these are great for the grill because you don't need to go through the process of skewering them. I like to leave the tail on for presentation and a cute little handle.
They are great for a main meal or to serve as an Hors d'Oeuvres
This is a quick marinade because of the salt content, just about 30 minutes.
Here we go...
1 (1 1/2 to 2 pounds )Package of Costco Fresh Shrimp Split & Deveined or any fresh shrimp
4 Tbls of Olive Oil
Pinch of Fresh Ground Pepper
1 heaping Tsp of pre-minced Ginger
2 Garlic Cloves smashed
1 Tsp of Thai Fish Sauce
1/4 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 Tbls of Oyster sauce
1 Tbls of Honey
Pre-Heat Grill 350-400 degrees
Peel Shrimp leave tail on.
Put all shrimp in a ziplock bag.
In a bowl whisk the rest of the ingredients together, pour on the shrimp, zip the bag, and shake to coat the shrimp.
Try to get as much air out of the bag and put in fridge for 3o minutes
Put shrimp on the grill and cook about 2 minutes on each side or till shrimp is opaque and pink.
Do not over cook.
Plate up and enjoy!
