Grilled Shrimp Scampi Style With Soy Sauce, Ginger and Garlic

Submitted by SuzieQ in Fairfax

"A Bobby Flay recipe on the Food Network website. I make this regularly, and my family (and I) absolutely flip over it! It's our favorite pasta and seafood recipe, hands down. I make this on the outdoor grill, but in colder months I make it on the stovetop grill or even in a fry pan."

Yumm!! We served this over angel hair pasta and it was soooo good! I put the marinade in a bag for about 10 miuntes instead of basting, then put the large shrimp on skewers and grilled. I think it will be great in a grill pan as well. Thanks for sharing SusieQ.

This is so good! I made half a recipe and used lemon instead of lime. The ginger gives this such a fresh taste. I sauteed the shrimp in the soy sauce mixture (using less canola oil) instead of grilling the shrimp. So easy and delicious!
