GRILLED ROSEMARY GARLIC SHRIMP
Delicious and easy recipe for grilled shrimp
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup finely chopped garlic mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves plus sprigs for garnish
- 16 shrimp about 10-16 per pound jumbo or large
- lemon wedges as an accompaniment
- 3 tbsp olive oil plus oil for brushing shrimp
Instructions
- In a large bowl stir together garlic, minced rosemary, and 3 tablespoons oil and add shrimp. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours.
- To grill, thread 4 shrimp on each skewer and brush with additional oil. Grill shrimp on an oiled rack, set about 5 inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.
- Alternatively, grill in a hot well-season ridged grill pan, covered, over moderately high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Garnish shrimp with rosemary sprigs and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
If grilling outdoors, thread shrimp on skewers. The original recipe calls for putting shrimp on skewers, that's too much work for me!
Substitute herbs- use oregano or thyme, smoked paprika,
For an Asian flavor profile mince garlic and ginger and add basil or cilantro.
