GRILLED SHRIMP WITH LEMON AIOLI
You'll notice a glaring lack of ingredients in this recipe. Thanks to the intensely flavored cured lemons, the aioli sauce needs little more than some fresh tarragon to reach its full potential. Having said that, you are well within your rights to toss in some garlic or hot pepper if you're in the mood.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Steps:
- For aioli:
- Whisk mayonnaise, oil, oregano, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Season aioli to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
- For artichokes and asparagus:
- Bring large saucepan of salted water to boil. Fill large bowl with cold water; squeeze juice from lemon halves into water. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, pull off all dark green outer leaves until only tender inner yellow leaves remain. Cut off top 1 inch from artichoke. Cut off stem and trim around stem base of artichoke. Cut artichoke lengthwise in half and immediately drop into lemon water to prevent discoloration. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
- Drain artichokes, then add to saucepan of boiling salted water and blanch 3 minutes. Drain again. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil. Place artichokes on 1 prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over; sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in even layer on sheet. Place asparagus spears on second baking sheet. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons oil over; sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in even layer on sheet. Roast asparagus and artichokes until tender, about 8 minutes for asparagus and about 15 minutes for artichokes. Arrange artichokes and asparagus on platter. Place bowl of aioli in center for dipping and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds the best flavor to aioli. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't taste as good.
- Use good quality olive oil: The quality of the olive oil you use will make a big difference in the taste of the aioli. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Don't over-process the aioli: Aioli is best when it is slightly thick and creamy. If you over-process it, it will become too thin and runny.
- Serve the aioli immediately: Aioli is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, cover it tightly and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
- Use aioli as a dip, spread, or sauce: Aioli is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. Serve it as a dip for vegetables, spread it on sandwiches, or use it as a sauce for grilled meats or fish.
Conclusion:
Lemon aioli is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. Whether you are serving it as a dip, spread, or sauce, lemon aioli is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
