Shrimp with Lime Butter Sauce

Preparation Time: Approx. 2-3 hours to prepare and marinate, with and additional 15 to 20 minutes to grill and serve.
Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:


1 lbs. peeled and de-veined shrimp
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
fresh ground black pepper
pinch salt
pinch dry parsley flakes

Method:


Make a marinade by combining first the lime juice, salt, pepper, and parsley flakes. Next whisk in the olive oil and pour the marinade over the shrimp and marinate while refrigerated for 2 hours.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on a hot grill. Save the excess marinade for basting the shrimp as it grills. Grill over a low to medium fire basting often to prevent over drying. Grill for about 12 minutes or until the shrimp is firm and to touch and loses its translucency. Serve at once with lemon wedges.
