Grilled shrimp

1. Preheat grill to 400°F (medium-high heat).
2. Skewer 1.5 lb shrimp onto skewers and place on sheet pan. Brush both sides with 1/4 cup avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides (approximately 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper).
3. Once grill is hot, add skewers and grill (with top open) for about 2 minutes per side or until shrimp are pink and opaque throughout. This cook time is for large shrimp. Adjust cook time slightly based on size of shrimp.
4. Remove skewers to a serving platter, squeeze half a lemon over the shrimp, and serve with creamy garlic herb dip.
