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

Marinated Grilled Shrimp Cocktail

Marinated Grilled Shrimp Cocktail

Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp (size 16 to 20 or larger), shells on
• 1/2 cup citrus olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes, or metal skewers
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Citrus Aioli, optional, recipe follows

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut along the back about 1/4-inch deep through the shell of each shrimp to remove the vein. Put shrimp in a shallow, non-aluminum baking dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together citrus oil, onion, garlic, cilantro, and lemon juice. Pour over prawns, cover, and let marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours.

Preheat grill or broiler.

When ready to cook, thread shrimps on skewers and discard marinade. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill or broil, turning once, until just done, 2 to 3 minutes.

Shrimp can be served warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or with Citrus Aioli. The marinated grilled shrimp is ready.....

Cook's Note: Leaving the shells on the prawns protects them from drying out during cooking. This method works so well that I use it often when preparing shrimp or prawns for salads, pasta, pizza, and sandwiches. Simply reduce the cooking time if they will later be cooked more, for instance as part of a sauce or pizza topping. Peel shrimp after they come off the grill.

Quick Citrus Aioli:

• 2 cloves garlic
• Coarse salt
• 1 cup prepared mayonnaise
• 2 lemons, zested
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Using a mortar and pestle, or on a cutting board, finely mash the garlic cloves with a pinch of salt.

In a bowl, mix the garlic paste with remaining ingredients and serve. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
