Grilled Spicy Green Shrimp is a super easy, delicious dinner that is ready in less than 15 minutes.
Shrimp Grilling Jalapeño Herbs Sauce

Happy Labor Day!

It is the beginning of September, where in the world did Summer go?  I am always somewhat sad to see summer end unless it’s been brutally hot, and this summer has been exceptionally mild for Southern Ohio.  So summer will end with a sigh from me, wishing I could have a few more days to enjoy before the days get shorter and the nights cooler.  However, there is still plenty of evenings left to fire up the grill and you won’t want to miss out on this simple (and I mean simple) recipe.  Using the herbs, and peppers from the garden make this one of my favorite recipes to pull together on the nights I want something effortless.  We usually have frozen shrimp and a quick rinse under cool water until they are thawed, peeled and deveined, and a few turns on the food processor and dinner is ready to be cooked, eaten and enjoyed.

NOTE: I did not add the refrigeration time to the total time on the recipe card.

    I LOVE how you made this yummy recipe even healthier with the addition of the yogurt! I never would have thought of grilling shrimp with yogurt.

    I just made this recipe about 20 minutes ago. I forgot to pick up the fresh basil from the store… Made it anyway and it’s still amazing.
