- 4 cloves garlic, chopped

Instructions
- Combine olive oil, basil, vinegar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a 9by 13 glass casserole dish. After mixed, reserve ¼ cup of the marinade to use for after grilling. Set aside. To the marinade add the raw shrimp. Cover the shrimp with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 2 hours.

Notes
Katie’s Tips:
*I like to buy jumbo shrimp frozen and the defrost in he refrigerator overnight.
*If I forget to defrost shrimp, I place shrimp in a colander in the sink and let water from the sink pour over it for 5-10 minutes. This will defrost the shrimp quickly.
*Always pat and dry shrimp on a paper towel lined plate before working with it to get rid of all the moisture from defrosting.
*I buy peeled and deveined tail on shrimp. It costs extra but saves so much time and effort.
*I could not find large shrimp when I was making this, so I simple used smaller shrimp. Whatever you can find!
