Honey Grilled Shrimp {A Lazy Mom Recipe}

This weekend a couple from our church had us over for dinner.  The husband grilled out some DELICIOUS shrimp that were so tasty.  I loved the shrimp so much he pulled out the recipe for me and it was *gasp* only four ingredients!

Lazy Mom Recipe alert!!!!!

If you are a shrimp person you simply MUST make this as soon as heavenly possible.  Plus, a serving is only 175 calories! SCORE!

Honey Grilled Shrimp

1 bottle (8 ounces) Italian salad dressing
1 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing, honey and garlic; set aside 1/2 cup. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate reserved marinade for basting.

Drain and discard marinade. Thread shrimp onto eight metal or soaked wooden skewers. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.

Grill, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade. Grill or broil 3-4 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink, turning and basting frequently. Yield: 8 servings.
