    Paleo Chimichurri Grilled Shrimp

    I love grilling in the summer. And this chimichurri grilled shrimp recipe is one of my favorites. With an easy chimichurri sauce that doubles as a marinade, it's a deliciously simple meal for hot summer nights.

    Even if you're starting with frozen shrimp, you can get this dinner on the table fast. Put the shrimp in a bowl of cold water to thaw while you make the chimichurri sauce. Marinate the shrimp while you make a quick salad and preheat the grill.
