Grilled Garlic Shrimp

                     

This is a great summer dish to throw on the grill.  It's a quick and easy recipe to put together and you can serve the shrimp along with steak for a surf and turf or along with some steamed rice or wild rice. The shrimp will also pair nicely with some grilled vegetables or the Dark 'N' Stormy Grilled Pineapple
