GRILLED SHRIMP LEMON MARINADE

DIRECTIONS:

 

Start by juicing three fresh medium lemons that are at room temperature.

This can be accomplished by rolling each whole lemon with the palm of your hand

on the kitchen counter top to break up the pulp and produce more juice.

Cut each lemon in half and squeeze out the juice.

If you have a juicer use it.  If not just squeeze your juice into a bowl.

Strain the lemon juice through a fine strainer to remove seeds.

 

 Pour the lemon juice into a bowl and add remaining Grilled Shrimp Marinade ingredients.

Mix ingredients well and then add Tiger or Jumbo shrimp.

Cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap and allow ingredients to marinate

for 3 to 4 hours turning mixture at least twice.
