Grilled Shrimp Scampi

     Arnauld's home early and we are kicking off the Fourth of July holiday early by firing up the grill for dinner tonight.  I bought some shrimp at the store today, typed in grilled shrimp into Pinterest, and dinner was decided: grilled shrimp scampi.  The ingredients were minimal and I could easily throw this dinner together and do all the cleanup in the bathroom sink.  Oh how the standards for recipe selection have changed...
