CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP



Chef John's Grilled Garlic and Herb Shrimp image

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.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon lemon zest
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemon thyme leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
2 pounds extra large shrimp (16-20), peeled and deveined, tail left on
skewers
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 lemon, cut into wedges

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.

GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Grilled Jumbo Shrimp With Garlic-Herb Butter image

A very simple recipe with just enough seasoning to enhance the flavor of the grilled shrimp without overpowering it. The best way to eat the shrimp is to peel them at the table and dip in extra butter sauce left over from the recipe. I have prepared the recipe with and without the rum - I do not find the rum to add anything special.

Provided by WannaBcook5792

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 28m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (optional)

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
16 jumbo shrimp, in the shell preferably with heads left on
salt & freshly ground black pepper
white rum, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the butter with the parsley, basil, garlic and shallot and melt over low heat.
  • Light a grill or heat a grill pan.
  • Halve the shrimp lengthwise, leaving them attached 1 inch below the head (if the head is left on). Devein the shrimp and spread them open. Season with salt and pepper, then brush liberally with the herb butter.
  • Grill the shrimp over a medium-hot fire, shell side down, until lightly charred, about 1 minute.
  • Turn and grill the other side until lightly browned, about 40 seconds. Turn the shrimp again. Brush them liberally with more herb butter, sprinkle with rum and grill until barely cooked through and bubbling, about 1 minute longer.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Devein the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can have a gritty texture. To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Then, use your fingers to pull out the digestive tract.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the shrimp quickly: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp is best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as melted butter, lemon juice, or cocktail sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp is a delicious and healthy seafood dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can grill shrimp perfectly every time. With its tender texture and flavorful taste, grilled shrimp is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled shrimp a try!
