Recipe: ‘Tis The Season To Grill Shrimp

Grill Shrimp recipe 

Did you know that shrimp is a great source of protein? A 3-ounce serving of shrimp (approximately 4 large shrimp) contains just 85 calories, while also packing in 20 grams of filling protein. 

As temperatures rise and families everywhere dust off the patio furniture, The National Fisheries Institute (NFI) Shrimp Council encourages Americans to give burgers a break in favor of firing up the grill for the country's favorite seafood – sweet, succulent shrimp. Here's a great recipe from The NFI Shrimp Council.

1 clove garlic minced 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh dill
