Quick and Easy Grilling Recipes! By Raine English

I love May. The leaves are on the trees; the flowers are in bloom; and it’s warm enough to grill outside.

Here are two of my favorite quick and easy grilling recipes:

Soy-Sesame Grilled Shrimp

1 ½ pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined (24 to 28)
½ cup minced onion
½ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
2 tbsp. sesame seed
2 tbsp. salad oil
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. pepper
½ tsp. ginger

About 5 minutes before grilling:
In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Add shrimp: toss gently to coat. Skewer shrimp and grill about 10 minutes or until shrimp are pink, turning once.


Grilled Rosemary Zucchini

6 medium zucchini, cut in ½-inch slices
½ cup chopped onion
1 tsp. rosemary
1 tsp. salt
½ cup butter or margarine

About 1 hour before serving:
On a large sheet of heavy duty foil, mix zucchini with onion, rosemary, and salt. Dot mixture with butter or margarine; fold sheet of foil over and seal ends. Grill over medium coals 25 minutes or until zucchini is tender-crisp.



What are some of your favorite quick and easy grilling recipes?
