Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp is a gluten free, dairy free, and primal main course. One serving contains 240 calories, 36g of protein, and 6g of fat. This recipe serves 4. It is perfect for The Fourth Of July. If you have pepper, olive oil, salt, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the lemons you could follow this main course with the Blackberry Lemon Chess Pie w/ Honey Jumbleberry Sauce. How I won the SF Food Wars – Pie or Die Competition as a dessert. 1 person found this recipe to be scrumptious and satisfying. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes.

Thread 4 lemon wedges, 4 shrimp, and 4 bay leaves alternately onto each of 8 (10-inch) skewers.
Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.
Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris
Bright yellow/gold color, quite luminous. Superb smoky toasty nose, typical for this grape on limestone in Alsace (no new oak in our wines, just very long total lees contact). Some light reductive aromas that actually fit the style of dry Pinot-Gris. The palate is rich and creamy, with a velvety texture yet fully dry. It is an easy wine to drink now as there is no unnecessary weight. The finish is nice and round but fully dry. The complex limestone blend brings great acid balance and a certain weight. It should develop very nicely over the next few years.
