    The inspiration behind this recipe comes from a dish served at my sister in laws garden baby shower. It is so simple and delicious, I knew just had to make them myself.,You can serve this as skewers so you can hold them in your hand or simply over a bed of greens. This shrimp would also be excellent over your favorite pasta, like orzo, spaghetti or even zoodles for dinner. Or make them at your next BBQ with Grilled Flank Steak, Broccoli and Orzo, Grilled Corn Feta Salad, to name a few summer favorites!,Note: Keep in mind that when you remove the shell from the shrimp it will weigh less. For instance, I started with about 2 lbs of shrimp to get 1 1/2 lbs after I peel them. Depending on the size of your shrimp you will get different amounts.,Drunken Shrimp,Sheet Pan Shrimp Oreganata,Harissa Shrimp and Chickpeas,Creamy Shrimp Salad,Air Fryer Shrimp Fried Shrimp Sandwich
