I went by my favorite fish market and picked up snapper and shrimp for us to throw on the grill for a recent celebration with family and friends. We marinated the shrimp with oil, lime, and chili flakes and seared it quickly until bright pink. Everyone enjoyed the summery and festive main dish for our celebratory dinner.

It’s best to grill or cook meat at room temperature. This way the meat can cook evenly. The shrimp can be skewered, or cooked in a grill basket .
