Simple Grilled Shrimp

Simple Grilled Shrimp

This recipe is very simple yet we decided to share it with everyone since it is one of our favorite appetizers! The best part about this grilled shrimp recipe is that it pairs well with just about any dipping sauce! We like to play around with different sauces when we make it, but we definitely have our staple favorites.

Recently, we have been loving this shrimp with a good remoulade sauce! Our local grocery store, Rastelli’s, makes one that has a citrus tang to it, and it just makes for the perfect combination with the shrimp. Another favorite is using a blue cheese sauce and hot sauce together. If you are into spicy, you will for sure love this combination! Other ideas are going simple with a cocktail or tartar sauce, or you can pair it with barbecue sauce! The possibilities with this shrimp are endless since all there is too it is salt, pepper, and olive oil. We also like to marinate ours with chili pepper flakes to get a spicy flavor!

Let us know what your favorite dipping sauces are!
