Shrimp Preparation
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Notes

For best results, do not overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and can become rubbery if left on the grill too long. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
