Grilled Rosemary Garlic Shrimp

Submitted by kimkej

"I believe this is a variation of a recipe from Gourmet. It's an awesome dish that can be used as an appetizer OR main course. The key is using fresh rosemary and lots of garlic. You can increase the amount of garlic if you wish. The only negative is peeling the shrimp which can be a bit messy but it is worth it!"

Very good - we marinated overnite and had them for breakfast - mini lobsterlike jumbo shrimp with fab flavor. I have only used rosemary with chicken but went very well with the shrimp. Will definitley share with friends.
