BARBECUE SHRIMP

This will soon become one of your favorite ways to include shrimp into your weekly dinners if you like it. You’ll need raw shrimp, olive oil, and barbecue sauce to make this meal. That’s really all that’s required. While we prepared our own barbecue sauce just for this dish, you can make this healthy and easy shrimp dinner using any barbecue sauce you choose. It takes around four or five minutes of cooking over a medium flame for the shrimp to become pink from raw. If you’re short on time but still want a tasty and filling meal, try this recipe for grilled shrimp.
