Recipes from Grandma

My husband made this for dinner last night. It was easy, but it tasted so good…

Ingredients:
1 pound extra large shrimp – we used fresh but frozen will also work
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dry vermouth or white wine (we used vermouth)
2 cloves minced garlic
Salt
Pepper

Place shrimp in a plastic bag and place in a deep bowl.

Marinade: combine oil, vermouth, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the shrimp in the bag. Close bag.

Marinade shrimp in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours. Drain shrimp, saving marinade.

Arrange shrimp on the unheated rack of a broiler pan.

Brush shrimp with marinade.

Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for about 5 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink. Turn shrimp over once.

Serves two hungry people!

1/2 pound cooked shrimp (fresh is best)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated onion
2 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise

Stir together.

Refrigerate.

Make at least 3 hours ahead.
