It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is GRILLED SHRIMP from KAREN’S KITCHEN!!

For all of you who’ve been following this blog for awhile, you know I could eat shrimp almost every day of the week. It truly is my favorite food. I do have a number of shrimp recipes to provide me with variety. The neat thing about this one recipe is that it only makes two servings. It’s often tough to find 2 serving recipes. This one is perfect for the empty nesters. Of course, it’s great for single servings, too. Leftovers can be chopped up into a salad the next day!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
