To ensure your shrimp are truly aromatic after grilling, all you need is the right marinade. But it's important to remember that seafood quickly absorbs flavors and doesn't require long marinating times. The key is not to overload them with too many spices, to preserve their natural taste. We're sharing a great recipe!

Prep time: 10 minutes.
Servings: 6.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil;
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce;

• 2 cloves garlic;
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano;
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper;
• 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Step-by-step recipe

1. Press the garlic through a garlic press. Mix olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and honey. If the honey is too thick, gently warm it over steam above hot water.
