New Orleans Barbecued Shrimp

There is a huge 

Wow!

  

factor with this shrimp dish!

This recipe, the source is a mystery to me; for shrimp on the grill is super simple and comes together easily. 

Shrimp marinates in a zesty sauce of garlic, lemon juice, oregano and parsley, plus a little sweet chili sauce, with a sprinkling of crushed peppers and hot sauce for heat.  Then its all quickly grilled to perfection.

I will be making this again soon for Bill to grill ~ we thought it was simply delicious!

With a side of stone-ground garlic grits ~ it doesn't get much better than this!
