These gluten-free, Grilled Lemon Pepper Shrimp have become a staple protein in our dinner rotation.

They are quick and easy to make, have the best flavor — lemony, a bit garlicky and peppery and are super versatile.

They work equally well as a perfect topper or side to your favorite salad, or served alongside your favorite vegetable and rice or potato, or could even be added to a pasta dish.

So let’s make them!

They are super simple! They come together quickly and the marinade is made with basic ingredients you probably have in your house.

All you need is:

peeled and cleaned shrimp

extra virgin olive oil

fresh lemon

garlic

pepper

salt

The recipe is short on ingredients but big on flavor!

In fact, it may not look like a lot of marinade but a little goes a long way. You are really just accentuating shrimp.

The flavor will be fabulously lemony, a little garlicky, peppery, salty and so tasty!

All you do is mix the marinade ingredients together and add the shrimp and using your hands or spoon, mix to coat all the shrimp.

Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15-20 minutes.

Then add the marinated shrimp to skewers by skewering the shrimp lengthwise.

Pro Tip: if using wooden skewers, run under cold water immediately before adding shrimp to skewers.

Then grill them!

They grill super quickly!

• Place on grill, cover and cook for 4 minutes.
• Using grilling gloves or tons, flip, cook another 3 minutes.

Then you are ready to serve!

Super simple but big on flavor, these Lemon Pepper Shrimp are the best gluten-free protein to add to any meal!

The serving possibilities are endless!

Some serving suggestions include:

• as a topper to a Simple Green Salad or Shaved Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad or Caesar Salad.
• as a side or topper to a favorite Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
• with any simple salad (such as a Tomato, Corn & Avocado Salad) and rice or baked fries or roasted potatoes.
• alongside a Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Potato
