THE ULTIMATE GRILLED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Put a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill and get it very hot. If you're using an outdoor grill, take a few paper towels and fold them over several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel, then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
- Meanwhile, add the butter into a food processor with the basil leaves (reserve a few for garnish), the juice of 1 of the lemons, and salt and pepper. Puree. Stuff about half of the butter under the shells of the shrimp (about 1/2 tablespoon per shrimp). Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook for 3 minutes on each side, brushing with the remaining basil butter a few times as they cook.
- To serve, put the shrimp on plates and dot with the remaining basil butter. Squeeze the remaining lemon over the shrimp and garnish the plates with basil leaves.
CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP
This grilled garlic and herb shrimp recipe is very easy, IF you can just walk out into the backyard, and pick a handful of your own fresh, green sprigs. However, these are so amazingly delicious, if you don't have a garden, then do splurge and buy a bunch of all the herbs. And get the extra large shrimp so they can grill longer and get maximum caramelization.

Steps:
- Place salt, lemon zest, and 3 cloves garlic in bowl of a mortar and pestle. Pound with the pestle until mixture begins to form a paste, about 2 minutes. Add chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme and pound with pestle until mixture begin to come together, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into herb mixture. Grind together until mixture begins to form a sauce for marinating, about 1 minute. Pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir mixture with a spoon until mixture is thoroughly combined, adding additional olive oil as needed. Mixture should be fairly thick but pourable.
- Place shrimp in a large bowl and mix in about 2/3 of the sauce, reserving 1/3 for serving. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers (pierce each twice, once through large part of shrimp, once through small part). Place skewers on hot grill. Cook on each side until shrimp are bright pink and opaque and exterior is beginning to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer skewers to serving platter.
- Pour remaining sauce into mixing bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Spoon sauce over shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- I like to buy the deveined and peeled shrimp (I'm lazy, I guess), but if you have the time and patience, the unpeeled shrimp is less expensive. To start, I combine in a bowl 1/8 of a cup of Justy's Jelly with about 1/8th cup of water and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix this up well. Add the shrimp to the mixture, stirring it up to make sure everything is well coated. Cover it with plastic and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes, longer if you can. Once you can't wait any longer, heat up your grill! Take a moment and pull off leaves from the Living Lettuce head. Rinse them off and create a "bowl" of lettuce on the plates. Now, make the second half of your mixture. Mix another 1/8 cup of Jelly with the juice of 1/2 a lemon and 1/8 cup water. Mix this well, then add your tomatoes and avocados. Toss this lightly. Now skewer your shrimp on bamboo skewers, placing them on a medium temperature grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. I like to skewer pineapple chunks as well, giving the dish a little bit of a tropical flare to go along with the Pineapple Jalapeño jelly. I put them on the grill first, then take them off last. As the shrimp is finishing, spoon the tomato and avocado mixture into center of lettuce bowl. Pull the shrimp off the grill and slide the shrimp off the skewers and on top of the tomato/avacado mixture. Squeeze a little lemon juice, and maybe a little of the dressing left over from the tomato/avocado mixture on top. Finally, add a skewer of pineapple alongside and you're finished! This is my favorite summer meal. Light and tasty, it is satisfying on a hot evening. I hope you try it, and let me know what you think! See more on http://www.WellKrafted.com
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. For best results, use large, fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
- Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat as soon as they are cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp on butter lettuce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are tender and juicy, and the butter lettuce provides a crisp and refreshing contrast. This dish is also very easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled shrimp on butter lettuce a try. You won't be disappointed!
