Time 25m

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.

This recipe is a great starting point. I like to add some other vegetables to the grill, like zucchini and bell peppers.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I substituted parsley instead. It turned out great!

The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was too oily.
