When I created this dish, it was a day where I didn’t have a lot of time. I was late coming home from work and as I walked through the door, Hubs shared he invited company, and they were about to arrive any minute for cocktails on the patio.

I needed something that could do double duty; dinner for me and an appetizer for our guests.

Teriyaki Shrimp Appetizer

Shrimp always seems to be my go-to protein when I need a really quick appetizer or dinner. I really like to bake shrimp in the oven, but it also tastes great grilled in my cast iron grill pan.

• If you decide to grill outside and you plan to use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for 20 minutes beforehand. Doing this step will ensure your skewers don't catch on fire! 
• If you are pressed for time and or it is cold outside, you can grill these bad boys on the stovetop in the cast iron grill pan. If you have a double burner pancake griddle, turn it over and see if the other side has a grill surface! Most pans have both!
