Grilled Lemon Sriracha Shrimp is the perfect summer time dish for Cycles 2 and 3 of the 17 Day Diet

So you’re on Cycle 1 for 17 days and you’re itching for something that’s not chicken or salmon! Here’s a recipe for shrimp I found on Instagram that, with a few minor changes, would make a perfect meal for Cycle 2 or 3 of the 17 Day Diet.

Grilled Lemon Sriracha Shrimp

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds of large shrimp, peeled and deveined (leave tails on if desired)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons of honey note: Use Stevia if you’re sticking to the 17 Day Diet
¼ cup soy sauce (reduced sodium preferred)
juice from 2 lemons
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons Sriracha Sauce (Increase for more of a kick)
lemon wedges and chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions:

If using wooden skewers, soak in water for up to 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Place all of the marinate ingredients in a resealable bag, shake to mix. Add the shrimp and place in the refrigerator. Marinate for at least one hour, up to 4 hours.

Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers.

Heat the grill to medium-high. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until shrimp has become pink and firm. Do not overcook. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

If you don’t have a grill, you can pan fry or broil in the oven.

Yields 4-5 Servings.

Approved with modifications for Cycles 2 and 3.
