Very good! I put the shrimp on skewers and put them under the broiler for two minutes on each side. I served on top of Kittencal's greek lemony rice with feta. I would highly recommend to anyone.

I made this for dinner tonight and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I used fresh prawns that had been shelled (21 of them), marinated them for five minutes, then cooked them on the stove top in two batches over med to high heat. For the sauce I threw the garlic cloves into the blender whole, added salt and pepper, the juice of 1 lemon and a little olive oil to start the blending. This worked out fine. I then added more oil until I had enough.

These are wonderful. The marinade is absolutely to our taste and it was outstanding as our salad dressing too. This will be a summertime staple in our house!
