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.

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.

Tips for Grilled Shrimp with Oregano and Garlic Chips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a better flavor and texture than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Devein the shrimp and remove the shells. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, and salt and pepper helps to add flavor and moisture. Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat: Grilling the shrimp over high heat helps to create a nice sear and keeps the shrimp from becoming overcooked. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Make the garlic chips: While the shrimp are grilling, make the garlic chips. Simply slice the garlic cloves thinly and fry them in hot olive oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp is best served immediately after cooking. Serve the shrimp with the garlic chips, lemon wedges, and a dipping sauce of your choice.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp with oregano and garlic chips is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper, then grilled over high heat until cooked through. The garlic chips add a crispy and flavorful touch to the dish. Serve the shrimp immediately with lemon wedges and a dipping sauce of your choice.
