Spicy Grilled Jumbo Shrimp

Use the versatile Honeyed Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette to give this dish lots of tangy flavor, then add a generous sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to turn up the heat. Because the shrimp is butterflied, there's more surface area to absorb the delectable marinade.

Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp

It seems unlikely that simply threading shrimp between slices of lemon and fresh bay leaves can have such a delicious impact, but one taste should erase all doubts. With a fragrance that somehow evokes both forest and ocean, these beautiful skewers are a must-do for guests.

Shrimp Kebabs with Jalapeño-Lime Marinade

Orange juice concentrate, lime zest, and lime juice give this marinade a bold citrus flavor that is a natural–and tasty–choice for shrimp, but try it on chicken or pork, too. You'll love the kick from the garlic and jalapeño.

Key Lime Grilled Shrimp

Grilled Shrimp Pizza

When you've had your fill of hotdogs, the easy summer staple, turn to this creative grilled green salsa pizza inspired by the flavors of Mexico. Both the crust and the shrimp topping get quality grill-time, resulting in a pie infused with an irresistibly smoky flavor.

Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Skewers

A quick cure in a salt-sugar mixture tenderizes the shrimp and makes them more flavorful–just be sure to rinse them well. Keep this recipe in mind if you've got to haul a dish to the beach or a cookout: the salting also acts as a mild preservative.

Rosemary Shrimp Scampi Skewers

Using stripped rosemary sprigs makes the shrimp smell tantalizing on the grill, and also makes for a romantic presentation. If you don't have fresh rosemary on hand, thread the shrimp onto bamboo skewers and add a bit of dried rosemary to the marinade instead.
