Seafood Recipes

Here are a few ways to cook seafood on the "Barbie"

Marinated Grilled Shrimp
"A very simple and easy marinade that makes your shrimp so yummy you don't even need cocktail sauce! Don't let the cayenne pepper scare you, you don't even taste it. My 2 and 4 year-olds love it and eat more shrimp than their parents!!! It is also a big hit with company, and easy to prepare. I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric grill if the weather is not good for outside grilling. Try it with a salad, baked potato, and garlic bread. You will not be disappointed!!!"

3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup tomato sauce
