Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon Calabrian chile flakes
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra-large (16 to 20 per pound) shrimp, shelled and deveined, tail-on

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
  • Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.

BROILED SHRIMP APPETIZER



Broiled Shrimp Appetizer image

Allow 3 to 4 of the large shrimp per person. If only the smaller are available, you will need about 6 per person.

Provided by James Beard

Yield Serves 5 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 large shrimp
1 cup olive oil
juice of 3 lemons
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons of fresh or dried tarragon

Steps:

  • With sharp scissors cut down the back of each shrimp shell and remove the black vein but do not remove the shell. Wash the shrimp thoroughly and place them in a large bowl. Over them pour olive oil, the lemon juice, soy sauce, parsley and tarragon. Let the shrimp stand in this mixture for 2 hours, tossing them around now and then so that they will be equally marinated.
  • When you are ready to cook them, arrange them in basket grills and cook over hot coals for 5 to 6 minutes, turning twice. They should be tender and moist with lightly charred shells. Have finger bowls and pass plenty of paper napkins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Use large, fresh shrimp for the best results. Avoid frozen shrimp, as they can be tough and rubbery.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to flavor them and keep them moist.
  • Broil the shrimp on high heat. This will help to quickly cook the shrimp and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Watch the shrimp closely. Shrimp can cook quickly, so it's important to watch them closely to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Broiled shrimp is best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Broiled shrimp is a quick, easy, and delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give broiled shrimp a try!
