INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled & de-veined (about 40 shrimp)

- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons DeLallo Lime Juice Slice
- 3 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
- DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for greasing grill
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat grill or grill pan on medium heat. Brush grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
