Picture and recipe from www.perriconerecipes.com
Ingredients- 1/4 cup finely chopped garlic, mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon coarse
- salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped plus sprigs for garnish
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus oil for brushing shrimp
- Juice of one large lemon
- Freshly grated black pepper to taste
- 16 jumbo shrimp (about 10 per pound)
- four 12-inch bamboo skewers
- organic lemon wedges
In a large bowl stir together garlic, finely chopped rosemary, lemon juice and 3 tablespoons oil and add shrimp. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Soak skewers in water to cover 30 minutes and prepare grill.
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. Do not overcook.
If you do not have a grill, simply brush shrimp with additional oil and 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.
If you need to you can modify as needed. There are many grocery stores that have sales come on with one bag of large shrimp get one free, so it doesn't have to be expensive! Give me feedback and let me know how you like it!! Happy Cooking!!!!
