Grilled Grapefruit Rosemary Shrimp Recipe made with Florida's Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice in the Limited Edition Lilly Pulitzer Carton


Perfect summertime recipe! This citrus dish is yummy and refreshing on a hot summer night! I paired this with fresh steamed green beans in lemon and brown and red rice and a cup of Florida's Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice! Bon Appetit!

Grilled Grapefruit Rosemary Shrimp
Ingredients
1/4 cup of Florida's Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice (In the Limited Edition Lilly Pulitzer carton of course! A portion of every carton purchase goes to breastcancer.org )
1/4 cup Florida's Natural Orange Juice
1 Tablespoon minced fresh garlic (approx. 1 clove)
1/4 cup olive oil (I prefer organic)
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
8-10 Rosemary Sprigs (approx. 10 inches) with straight stems (I prefer organic Rosemary)
1 Pound (26-30 per pound) shelled (leave tails on) deveined shrimp, rinsed
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine grapefruit juice, orange juice, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice.
2. Pull most of the leaves from each rosemary stem, leaving about 2 inches at the top of the sprig (look like mini Lilly palm trees, lol). Mince enough rosemary leaves to make 1 teaspoon and add to bowl. Save extra leaves for other uses.
3. Add shrimp to bowl and mix. Let stand at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.
4. While waiting for shrimp to marinate, put rosemary stems in a bowl and cover with water.
5. Drain shrimp, discard marinade. Form 1 shrimp into a C shape and push thick end of Rosemary sprig through fat section, then through tail end of the shrimp. Continue skewering shrimp with remaining rosemary, distributing shrimp equally among the sprigs.
6. Lay skewered shrimp on a BBQ grill over very hot coals or very high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 1 or 2 seconds), close lid on gas grill. Turn shrimp as needed to cook evenly until they are opaque but still moist looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 4 minutes.

Fun Photos of Olivia with Lilly Juice at the Beach!





























Summertime Fun :) Lilly Princess Olivia having fun in her Lilly swimsuit at the Beach. The Lilly Juice cartons make great beach toys (when they are empty) and float well in the water!







Bob found the Juice in Wisconsin!




What a wonderful husband! While away on business travel Bob has been looking for the Lilly Juice and just found it in Ashwaubenon, WI at Festival Foods! That is now 4 states that our family has found the Juice! I am going to Boston this weekend and will look for the Juice!

Another Location In NH that has the Lilly Juice!


In addition to Shaw's Supermarket in Keene, NH we have now also found the Lilly Juice at Hannaford's in Keene, NH! This is fun! Like a scavenger hunt! Every time we find the Juice Olivia screams "JUICEEEEEEEEEE!"

We found the Juice in Vermont!


I can't go by a grocery store without looking for the Lilly Juice! We found the Lilly Juice at Hannaford's Grocery Store in Brattleboro, VT . We are determined to find the Lilly Juice in as many locations as possible! I am also hoping we win a prize from Lilly Pulitzer! For those of you that have not heard yet Lilly Pulitzer is running a Juice Contest: 3 winners to receive a Lilly Dress, the first person to find the juice already won a beautiful Lilly Sherman Tunic and 2 prizes remain for the most photos of the Lilly Juice in the most different places and for the most creative photo of the Lilly Juice! Wish us luck!

Having some summer fun with Olivia at the lake. Olivia had fun with her "JUICEEEEEEEE"! Enjoy the photos!

The Lilly Juice is in NH!




I found the Juice in my home state of NH! Shown here at Shaw's Supermarket in Keene, NH. There were only 3 left on the shelf and we bought them all!

Meant to Be!


The first cartons of Lilly Pulitzer Anniversary Edition Florida's Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice that I drove 2 hours to find are dated with by birthday! Meant to Be for me :)

I finally found the Florida's Natural Lilly Pulitzer Juice!




I had to drive to another State to find it but I got the Juice! As a huge Lilly Pulitzer fan I have been searching high & low for the limited edition Lilly Pulitzer Anniversary Edition Florida's Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice. This is Lilly Pulitzer's 50th Anniversary and the company has teamed up with Florida's Natural to create the most adorable printed cartons. Very appropriate partnership seeing that Lilly Pulitzer started in the Juice Business 50 years ago. It all started with a Juice Stand!

Every time I drive by a grocery store I stop and go directly to the juice coolers. I even have my husband searching for the juice in several states while he is away on business travel. I finally found it by driving to Shaw's in Franklin, MA, almost 2 hours from NH, but finding the juice was worth every mile I drove! There were 7 cartons left at this Shaw's supermarket and I bought them all!
People in Shaw's started to stare when Olivia & I were cheering "YAY!" and taking pictures. Olivia was so excited she kept yelling "JUICEEEEEEEE!"
A portion of every Florida's Natural Lilly Pulitzer Anniversary Edition Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice carton goes to a great cause, breastcancer.org Join the fun and buy a carton! I will soon be posting recipes & craft ideas along with more fun photos!
