GRILLED SHRIMP AND SWEET POTATOES
We really loved this dish! The sweet potatoes were terrific straight off the grill... even before being topped off with the yummy maple syrup, nuts and cheese. And the shrimp marinade is to-die-for. Next time, I plan to double the marinade so there's even more flavor to go around!
