Grilled Lemon Garlic Shrimp

This is one of my favorite recipes,
I marinate the shrimp and then throw
them on a hot and smoky grill to cook.

Ingredients:
12 large black tiger shrimp, peeled and deveined,
1 cup chopped bell peppers,
1 stalk celery, chopped,
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes,
1 tsp. minced garlic,
2 Tbsp. olive oil,
5 leaves fresh basil,
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 pinch dry oregano,
a touch of balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
fresh lemon wedges

Directions:
In a bowl combine the shrimp with the oregano, half of the garlic,
olive oil, lemon wedges, salt and pepper.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Remove shrimp from bowl and grill it over the barbecue.
In the meantime mix together in a salad bowl the chopped vegetables, garlic, olive oil, fresh chopped basil, lemon juice, and balsamic.
Divide the small salad in four appetizer plates
and serve the grilled shrimp over it.
