LEMON-GARLIC MARINATED SHRIMP (ICE COLD AND REFRESHING)

Lemon-Garlic Marinated Shrimp (Ice Cold and Refreshing) image

I found this recipe on the Eating Well website amongst the diabetic friendly recipes. It's supposed to be an appetizer but I served it over a nice salad as a cool, refreshing summer dinner. We loved it. The shrimp are super simple to prepare and they tasted great hot or cold although they are meant to be served cold. Serves 12 as an appy but 6 as a main course.
