Grilled lemon dill shrimp is a delicious and healthy dish that can be prepared in just a few minutes. The key to this dish is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for shrimp that are plump and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are brown or have a slimy texture. Fresh lemon juice and dill weed will also add a bright, citrusy flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh dill weed on hand, you can use dried dill weed, but be sure to use half the amount.

Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Aioli image

You'll notice a glaring lack of ingredients in this recipe. Thanks to the intensely flavored cured lemons, the aioli sauce needs little more than some fresh tarragon to reach its full potential. Having said that, you are well within your rights to toss in some garlic or hot pepper if you're in the mood.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the zest, juice, and dill to each pan, and shake the pan to combine.

Tips:

  • Select the right shrimp: Choose large, fresh shrimp for the best results. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and salt for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse them with flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the shrimp. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside tender.
  • Cook the shrimp quickly: Shrimp cook very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them for just 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled lemon dill shrimp are best served immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or a simple lemon wedge.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon dill shrimp are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, dill, garlic, and olive oil, then grilled to perfection. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
