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.

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.

  • 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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil
24 jumbo shrimp, about 1 1/4 pounds, shelled and deveined

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, shallots, mustard, wine, lemon juice, olive oil and basil in a bowl. Stir to blend. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Let stand until ready to cook.
  • When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor or indoor grill to high, or preheat a broiler to high.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade and pour marinade into a small saucepan. Arrange shrimp 6 to a skewer, pushing the skewer through the tail section, then the head section, so shrimp will lie flat on grill or under broiler (see note). Arrange them barely touching and without crowding.
  • Place skewers on grill or on rack under broiler, about 6 inches from source of heat, and cook about 3 minutes or until shrimp can be lifted from grill or rack without sticking. Turn skewers and cook about 2 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil and simmer about 2 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp from skewers and arrange them symmetrically on 4 plates. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and serve.

OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP



Old Bay Marinated and Grilled Shrimp image

These shrimp marinate for only 30 minutes in a flavorful mix of lemon juice, garlic and the powerhouse spice blend, Old Bay seafood seasoning. Don't be tempted to let them sit in the sauce any longer than that because the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp and make them tough. Serve with some boiled or roasted potatoes for a grill-lover's version of a shrimp boil.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large lemon
2 large cloves garlic
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
  • Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.

My 2 and 4 year-olds love it and eat more shrimp than their parents! It is also a big hit with company, and easy to prepare. I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric grill if the weather is not good for outside grilling. Try it with a salad, baked potato, and garlic bread.

SHRIMP WITH BASIL-GARLIC BUTTER



Shrimp with Basil-Garlic Butter image

Categories     Garlic     Shellfish     Tomato     Bake     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Basil     White Wine     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 (first course)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 jumbo shrimp (3/4 pound), shelled and deveined
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté shrimp 1 minute per side. Transfer shrimp to a baking dish and bake in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 7 minutes.
  • While shrimp bakes, add garlic to skillet and cook, stirring, over moderate heat 15 seconds, then stir in wine, juice, and tomatoes. Boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by two thirds. Swirl in butter and basil over low heat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve shrimp with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible: Look for shrimp that are firm to the touch and have a briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of oil, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them or they will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and pink.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp with oil and basil sauce is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a summer meal. The shrimp are grilled to perfection and the basil sauce is flavorful and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
