GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP

Steps:

• You will need two bricks and a fire-proof rack to place over the bricks.
• First, place 2 bricks onto your outside grill, and place a safe rack onto the two bricks. This elevates the shrimp while cooking to prevent the shrimp from burning.
• Next, turn on the heat to "HIGH" - close the lid of the grill to heat for a few minutes.
• Using good quality metal skewers to skew the shrimps one next to each other.
• Quick Note: If you plan to use wooden skewers, you will need to soak them in water for at least 15 to 30 minutes. But we prefer metal skewers. Wooden skewers tend to burn and fall apart while grilling.
• Place the skewers onto the elevated grill. Close with the cover of the grill, for 7 to 10 minutes.
• Then open the lid, and use kitchen tongs to turn over each skewer. Close the lid for another 7 to 10 minutes.
• Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice over the skewers while grilling.
• Turn them over one last time for additional 3 minutes and then turn them again for additional 3 minutes. Then remove it from the grill. The shells should have a bright red-orange color.
• Squeeze an additional lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil over them before serving. Then at the table with each serving, anyone can add additional lemon over shrimp once they remove their shells.
• Yields: 5 to 6 servings

Stir in the coriander, curry and oil.
• Gently pull open the shell of each shrimp and, dividing the coriander paste evenly, push some of it down the back of the shrimp where the vein was and under the shell a bit. Close up the shell around the shrimp. Marinate at room temperature at least 2 hours or, covered, in the refrigerator up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the shrimp until the shells are charred on one side and the shrimp is cooked halfway through, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for 1 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately with the rice.

• On a cutting board, using a pair of kitchen scissors, or sharp paring knife, cut the shrimp lengthwise through the shell, along the top side about 1 inch below the head and press to flatten. Pull out and discard the intestinal vein that runs lengthwise.
• In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the softened butter with the sriracha, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fish sauce and lime juice and season with the salt. Microwave on high power just until soft enough to brush but not melted, about 5 seconds.

Grill the shrimp, shell side down until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Brush the shrimp with more of the butter, turn and grill until lightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.
