Grilled Herbed Shrimp on Mixed Greens

This is a great after-work meal in the summer time, when it's too hot to cook indoors, though the shrimp can be cooked in your oven's broiler as well. This is pretty versatile....you can alter the salad ingredients according to your taste. I've adapted this from a Pillsbury recipe.

My first time grilling shrimp for a salad and we loved it! We usually grill chicken for salads but shrimp is much faster and SO delicious. The marinade gives the shrimp a great flavor (I used balsamic). I will be making this often in the summer. Thanks Hey Jude, for posting. <br/>RoxygirlReply
