Grilled Shrimp with Garlic Marinade
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 skewers
Instructions
1
Combine the olive oil, tomato sauce, minced garlic, and red wine vinegar in a large mixing vessel. Add some dried basil leaves, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to give it extra flavor. Mix everything together until well combined.
2
Next, add the shrimp to the bowl and gently toss them around in the marinade until they're evenly coated. Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate it for 30 minutes to an hour, giving it a quick stir every now and then.
3
Before you start grilling, preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly brush some oil onto the grill grate to prevent sticking.
4
Now, thread the shrimp onto skewers by piercing them once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any leftover marinade.
5
Place the shrimp on the preheated grill and cook them until they turn opaque, flipping them over every 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
6
Finally, serve the grilled shrimp hot and indulge in your delicious creation!
