Orange & Green Shrimp

1 bag frozen uncooked medium shrimp
2 medium oranges
2 limes
4 garlic cloves, chopped
salt & pepper, to taste

Thaw the shrimp under cool, running water for several minutes. Remove the tails if you prefer. Drain well.

Zest and juice the oranges and limes into a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp. Add the garlic and shrimp and toss with a few pinches of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (leave them too long and they'll start to cook in the juice).

Cook on a hot outside grill or with a grill pan on high for a couple minutes on each side. Don't overcook or they will get rubbery.

Options:
Use chicken breast or tenderloins (increase the cooking time).
Serve with rice.
Serve in a taco or burrito.
Wrap in romaine leaves (my personal favorite).
