Simple Shrimp with a Honey Mustard Glaze


This is by far the easiest recipe I have ever posted.   I've made this for a picnic and it works out really well.  If you need to take a dish to a get together you can put this together in minutes. It's fast! And what's so surprising is that it tastes so darn good. Shhhh.......don't tell anyone how fast it is. Let them think you spent some time putting this together. 

You can use a grill to cook these or simply use a grill pan on top of the stove.

Make sure your shrimp are cleaned, peeled and deveined.  I leave the tails on to act as a handle to hold. 

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced

Combine the mustard, honey, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl.  This will be your glaze.  Add the shrimp and toss well to coat.  Allow to sit in this for at least 15 minutes then saute or grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side and they are done.

You can eat them right away or you can allow them to cool and them put them into a container with a top and put them in the cooler for the picnic. They will hold well for a couple of hours.
