A simple Marinated Grilled Shrimp recipe is the perfect easy and healthy dinner for warm weather months! With just 10 minutes of prep and 5 minutes on the grill, this fresh dish comes together quickly and makes family meals relaxing, delicious, and nutritious!

In your mind, what qualifies something as a “feel good” food? Is it the combination of fresh ingredients, the memories associated with a certain meal, or the friends that joined you around the table?

So often we are told that we should only nourish our bodies with whole, real, “clean” ingredients. That we should avoid entire food groups like carbs, gluten, dairy, or sugar.

And while it’s obviously important to fuel our bodies properly, eliminating entire food groups can mean missing out on a truly beautiful and satisfying experience that does much more than slim a thigh or build a muscle.

Over the years I have come to appreciate the recipes and foods that truly make me feel good. My mom’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce or Beef Stew; Aunt Bee’s Swedish Meatballs; or a Snickers ice cream cone from our favorite candy shop on the Vineyard.

These are the dishes that conjure up fond memories, bring joy to the table, and make me feel satisfied in mind, body, and spirit. They’re not checking a specific macro nutrient box, but instead nourishing my soul in ways that a kale salad never will.

There are also those “feel good foods” that are a happy combination of comfort, nutrition, and ease. For me, a grilled shrimp kabob immediately takes me back to the summer dinners of my childhood.

My mom regularly served grilled shrimp with a French baguette and a fresh green salad. It’s simple food that nourishes our physical bodies, but that also reminds me of warm summer evenings, carefree nights on the deck, and a table full of loved ones.

High-protein, low-carb, and gluten-free stats are irrelevant. The food is so much more powerful than any numbers on a panel or any single stand-alone ingredients!

Grilled shrimp have now become a staple at my own family’s dinner table, and regular readers probably know that I’m constantly coming up with new and interesting ways to prepare them.

This marinade was a huge hit with all of my boys, it’s made with simple and fresh ingredients, and the end result is a wholesome, feel good meal that you can enjoy sharing with loved ones.

Ingredients – Here’s What You Need;

Shrimp
Lime Juice
Garlic
Olive Oil
Fresh Parsley
Worcestershire Sauce
Honey
Salt and Pepper

No matter how healthy or how indulgent your “feel good foods” may be, I hope that you’ll treat yourself to the joy of nourishing all aspects of your mind, body, and spirit with the recipes and memories that are uniquely special to you.
