Marinades for Grilled Shrimp:
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 1/4 c. dry white wine
- 1 tbsp. minced dry onion
- 1/2 tsp. dried basil (1 tsp. if fresh)
- 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Place 1 pound raw shelled shrimp in re-closable plastic bag or container with tight lid, add marinade. Close, refrigerate 2-4 hours. Drain marinade. Thread shrimp onto pre-soaked skewers. Grill over hot coals 6-10 minutes. Brush often with reserved marinade.
- 1 c. dry white wine
- 1 c. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. chopped basil
- 1 tbsp. coarse black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. cajun spice (optional)
- 1 lb lg. raw shrimp, peeled, deveined (leave on tails)
- Thin lemon slices
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix marinade in shallow bowl, add shrimp, cover, refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning occasionally. Set grill on high heat. Skewer shrimp and lemon slices on bamboo skewers, alternating each. Grill until shrimp just become opaque. Baste occasionally with leftover marinade. Grill approx.3 minutes per side.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Purchase Raw fresh or Frozen Shrimp. For grilling purposes, I recommend Large or Extra-Large Shrimp. It is best not to buy pre-cooked shrimp because you are going to be cooking it again on the grill. Raw shrimp takes only minutes to cook. For the best results, and too avoid chewy shrimp, always start with Raw Shrimp.
2. Clean and Devein Shrimp - this is assuming you bought shrimp in the shell. (If you bought shelled-deveined shrimp, skip this step.) Under cold running water, remove outer shell and legs. Leave tail in tact. Make a small slice along the center back of the shrimp and with the tip of your knife, gently remove the black vein. Rinse shrimp and set into clean bowl. Repeat until all shrimp are done.
3. Drain any excess water from bowl of cleaned shrimp. Pat dry with paper towels to soak up any excess water remaining on shrimp.
4. Cover and refrigerate shrimp until ready to marinade
5. Choose your favorite Marinated Grilled Shrimp Recipe
