GRILLED HERB SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

GRILLED SHRIMP AND CORN SALAD WITH HERB LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter and garlic together.
