Grilled Herb and Lemon Shrimp

One of the quickest, easiest, and most flavorful dishes you’ll make all summer — Grilled Herb and Lemon Shrimp 🍤 🍋 As a longtime #wwpartner and follower, I’ve found that herbs and spices are truly the secret to creating recipes that are both delicious and stick to my @ww plan to meet my health goals. These grilled shrimp pack such a powerful punch of flavor, everyone at the barbecue is going to want to eat them! Maybe double the recipe.

A few tips when grilling shrimp — pat it dry first to remove any excess moisture, don’t marinade for too long (the acid will begin to cook the shrimp and change the texture), a little honey or sugar will help the shrimp become nicely browned before it overcooks, wait until the end to salt it (the salt brings the water to the surface and makes it more difficult to brown).
