Broiled Herbed Shrimp
April 14, 2013
Some meals are all about fresh herbs and it is that time of year that all things that cook quickly or are chilled are most welcome in my home. I made these for an appetizer for four, but it is a welcome sight for ‘Two for Dinner’. These are great whether broiled or grilled and similar preparation. The star of course is the shrimp, but fresh herbs from the garden make such a difference. Please proceed and enjoy.
