Roasted Shrimp with Chile Gremolata

There is nothing like summer nights and good friends. We went over to bon appetit and found a recipe that just screams Yum!

We settled on The Roasted Shrimp with Chile Gremolata and really once you read about it, its not really settling at all!

Light, exotic, and flavor-packed, this healthy recipe is a shoo-in for an al fresco summer dinner. Make extra — you’re guaranteed to want a second helping. We like to serve this main with couscous, rice, or grilled bread to sop up all of the shrimp’s intensely flavored cooking liquid.
