Shrimp on the Barbie

Summer is finally here and nothing says summer more than a barbecue!!  (Sorry for the long break, we were gathering up our best summer recipes!) This shrimp recipe is absolutely amazing and it is a MUST try.  This recipe is a great appetizer for a party or as a main dish on any summer night.  Get ready to chow because you cannot stop eating these! 


Ingredients:
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 lemon, juiced
2 TBS hot pepper sauce
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 TBS tomato paste
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs. large uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails

Directions:
Combine first nine ingredients in a bowl.  Place shrimp in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the shrimp.  Massage the marinade into the shrimp and let it marinade for at least two hours in the fridge.  Grill shrimp either in a shrimp basket, like in photo above, or place on skewers.  Grill for five minutes on each side.  Enjoy!!
