Menu Planner Menu Planner   GRILLED SHRIMP  

 
INGREDIENTS

2½ lb. jumbo shrimp
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup chopped cilantro
½ shallot, diced
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. dried basil
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp. salt
RECIPE

  • Peel and devein shrimp.
  • Place prepared shrimp in zip-lock bag.
  • Mix remaining ingredients in small bowl and pour over shrimp.
  • Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal bag and refrigerate for 2-3 hours (do not marinade much longer as the acid from the lemon will actually start to cook the shrimp).
  • Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade. Discard marinade.
  • At this point, you can either skewer the shrimp or grill them individually. If grilling them individually be very careful not to let them fall through the rack.
  • Grill for about 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are opaque and firm to the touch.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.
