Life changing shrimp recipe!!

Pete has been asking for shrimp non stop lately and honesty I have been ignoring him because I never know how to make it really tasty and not bland or chewy.   Lets just say I solved all those problems last night!!  This recipe is one I will make weekly because it takes zero time/ effort and is packed with flavor.  I used chipolte chili powder which was a tad spicy so if you are not in the mood for heat I would use 1 tablespoon instead.  Also I grated the garlic in Rachel Ray style so it could infuse the olive oil.  I knew this was a winner when Pete asked if we could have it again for dinner tonight!!  Is it wrong that I may agree to that?!


1.  Buy 24 (this was the perfect amount for 2 people) shrimp shelled and deveined 
2. Make marinade by combining 3/4 cup of olive oil,  2 tablespoons chipolte chili powder, 3 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped,  6 gloves of garlic grated, and a pinch of salt and pepper. 
3. Throw shrimp and marinade together in a Tupperware for 30 mins to 2 hours
4. Grill and Enjoy!
