How to Make Grilled Grapefruit Marinated Shrimp

  1. Zest one large grapefruit. In a small saucepan, combine the grapefruit zest with 1/4 cup olive oil. Heat gently to 160°F (71°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. In a shallow glass dish, combine the grapefruit zest-infused olive oil from step 1 with the remaining marinade ingredients (see ingredient list below).
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  4. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the shrimp to fully marinate.
  5. Remove shrimp from marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
  7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  8. Garnish with fresh grapefruit segments and cilantro if desired.
