Italian Grilled Shrimp

Submitted by KeyWee

"My neighbors made this for a summer picnic and it was delicious. They used an Italian dressing made at a local restaurant. Experiment a little or try Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette."

You know, I've marinated chicken in Italian dressing since the beginning of time - but never thought to do shrimp! Mahalo for a new and great way to do shrimp!

Terrific recipe and a gorgeous presentation, KeyWee. I made my own Italian dressing and added cherry tomatoes and sweet onions. I used Emeril's Bayou Blast recipe #97429.
