When you are at the fish market take a look at the different offerings, don’t overpay for pre cleaned and deveined shrimp. It’s really not that time consuming to clean the shrimp yourself. Just be sure to remove the entire vein from the back of the shrimp and give them a rinse before you cook them so they are nice and clean.

In a non-reactive container mix the ingredients for the marinade together. Then add the shrimp. The shrimp will only need to marinate for about 10 minutes, if you let them sit in the marinade too long the acid in the marinade will start to cook the shrimp and you will end up with ceviche.

Place the shrimp on a very hot grill. The shrimp will only take about 3 minutes total to cook, so your grill master needs to have some quick moves. When the shrimp come off the grill squeeze some lemon over them and sprinkle with a little salt.

I serve the shrimp over a bed of the orzo pasta with a dollop of the tzatziki and a wedge of lemon. As I have mentioned I have served this meal cold, warm or hot depending on my schedule for that day, so don’t forget this recipe if you need an elegant lunch.
