Grilled Shrimp with Tomato-Basil Marinade
Grilled Shrimp with Tomato-Basil Marinade features plump, char-kissed shrimp soaked in a garlicky blend of olive oil, tomato, and fresh basil with a gentle cayenne kick. The result is bright, herbaceous seafood with smoky edges and a subtle heat that suits summer cookouts or quick weeknight dinners. Serve hot off the grill with lemon wedges or over a simple salad.
