Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5 kg (3lbs) shrimp (deveined but shell and head on)
2 tbsp cajun spice
1 tbsp lemon pepper
2 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
250 g (2 sticks) butter
10 garlic cloves (crushed )
3-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp cajun spice
1 tsp chilli flakes
½ cup cream ((heavy or whipping) )

Steps:

  • If your prawns haven't been deveined, use a sharp pair of kitchen scissors and make a long incision down the length of the back then remove the vein.
  • Place the prawns in a large bowl. Pour over the oil and season with the cajun spice, lemon pepper and salt. Mix well to ensure all the prawns are evenly coated.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in a large pot (the pot needs to be big enough to toss all the prawns in once they are cooked) and add the garlic, lemon juice and spices.
  • Allow to cook for a minute until fragrant then pour in the cream. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. The sauce needs to be a little too lemony and very well seasoned. Once the prawns are added, the sauce will mellow a bit.
  • Preheat the grill for 10-15 minutes. I prefer using an outdoor grill/braai/barbecue as the smoke adds incredible flavor to the shrimp once cooked but you can use a griddle pan too.
  • Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are coral/orange in color. As the prawns cook, add them to the pot with the sauce.
  • Once all the prawns have been added, toss to coat the prawns in the sauce.
  • Serve over rice or with crusty bread and extra lemon wedges.

Everything except the pasta is done on the grill in this quick and delicious recipe. Shrimp bathe in a yummy marinade while the rest of the ingredients are prepped. Angel hair pasta cooks in about 5 minutes, so have it ready and out of the way, before you go to the grill. Once you get the ingredients outside, things will go very quickly!

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup herb-infused extra-virgin olive oil
½ lemon, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 teaspoons herb-infused extra-virgin olive oil
½ red onion, thinly sliced
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze ingredients in the bag to combine. Add shrimp. Remove as much air as possible, seal, and move shrimp around in the bag to coat in the marinade. Place in a tray or plate so shrimp are in a single layer. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Place a heat-proof skillet on one side of the grill to heat with the grill. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers.
  • Place shrimp skewers onto the hot grate and grill until the shrimp turn white and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
  • Meanwhile, pour 2 teaspoons olive oil into the hot skillet and cook onion, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in wine and allow to reduce, about 4 minutes. Stir in cream. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Grilled Shrimp with Roasted Garlic-Herb Sauce image

Categories     Garlic     Herb     Fourth of July     Shrimp     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 quart water
1/3 cup salt
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 1/2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, unpeeled
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Roasted Garlic-Herb Sauce

Steps:

  • Stir first 3 ingredients in medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Add shrimp. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Drain and rinse shrimp.
  • Using shears, cut shrimp shells down center of back all the way to tail section. Using sharp knife, cut shrimp in their shells along the full length of the back (do not cut all the way through). Remove vein and pull off legs. Open shrimp.
  • Whisk olive oil, white wine, garlic, parsley, and crushed red pepper in clean medium bowl. Add shrimp and stir; let stand 30 minutes.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place shrimp, flesh side down, on grill. Grill shrimp until pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and serve, passing Roasted Garlic-Herb Sauce separately.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Prawns: Choose fresh, plump prawns with a firm texture and a slight briny smell. Avoid prawns that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Preparing the Prawns: Devein the prawns by making a shallow incision along the back and removing the dark vein. Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Marinating the Prawns: Marinating the prawns in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs enhances their taste. Allow the prawns to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grilling the Prawns: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the prawns with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and slightly charred.
  • Preparing the Raw Sauce: Combine chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice in a bowl. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serving the Grilled Prawns: Serve the grilled prawns immediately, drizzled with the refreshing raw sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro and lemon wedges.
