Grilled shrimp – incredibly tasty and quick to make, and will please even the pickiest of eaters. This dish is a great choice when you want something quick, filling and easy. 5 minutes and lunch is ready (not counting the time for cooking rice and cutting salad). We grilled the shrimp on an electric grill, but you can also grill them on a barbecue. If you don’t have a grill, a frying pan or oven will do – the main thing is that the shrimp are grilled briefly, but well cooked. We suggest serving the prepared shrimp with a fresh vegetable salad and Basmati rice, cooked with a little turmeric, which not only gives the rice a great color, but also has a lot of antioxidants. This dish is suitable for both everyday lunch and a festive table.
