Grilled shrimp is super easy to make, and is such a great way to mix it up from grilled chicken. My family makes this every barbeque we have, and it's always my favorite dish. You can also cook this on your stove if you don't have a grill. Simply marinate the shrimp for a few hours, and cook as desired! Serve with whatever carb and vegetable you desire; today, it's Roasted Butternut Squash with Onions and Spinach and Onion Vegetable Medley

SHRIMP
- 1.5 lb (680 g) Frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

MARINADE
- 4 tbsp (60 g) Hot sauce
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Minced garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Soy sauce, low sodium, gluten free
- 2 tsp (10 g) Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Paprika
- 1 tbsp (3 g) Oregano, dried

1. Place a large strainer in a clean sink. Add your shrimp to the strainer, and rinse with cold water for about 5 minutes, turning over occasionally, until thawed

2. Meanwhile, combine hot sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, paprika, and oregano in a large bowl. Add in the shrimp, and mix until combined. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, and up to 24 hours

3. You can either saute these on the stove in a pan over medium heat, or cook them on the grill using wooden skewers. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and the temperature is at least 140F
