Lemon-Ginger Marinated Shrimp {No-Cook}

I remember being young and turning my nose up at cocktail shrimp. It just seemed a little disgusting to me even though I loved fried, grilled and sauteed shrimp. Then one day, I don't remember where, the only appetizer was cocktail shrimp. So I reluctantly tried one, smothered in cocktail sauce... OMG. Yeah, I ended up with a belly full of cocktail shrimp - they were so fresh and delicious!!

Fast forward to meeting Mr. Hungry Harp and his family - most importantly his Grandma. I can always count on Grandma to have cocktail shrimp at family gatherings. {Thank you, Grandma!} Sometimes she marinates them in different spices and seasons - delicious!

I decided to make my own little marinade using some of the Hungry Harps favorite ingredients and came up with these Lemon-Ginger Marinated Shrimp. These are perfect for an appetizer or snack or cold dinner. I'm thinking of marinating them and then sauteing, yeah? Hope you enjoy!!
