Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Marinade:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 cloves of garlic, finely minced with salt
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh rosemary
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
64 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
4 lemons, halved crosswise, for serving
8 large rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise , for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Soak 24 10-inch wooden skewers in water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. (This helps prevent their burning on the grill.)
  • 2. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
  • 3. Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Drain and pat dry. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • 4. Prepare hot coals for grilling or preheat the broiler.
  • 5. Thread 16 skewers with 3 shrimp each and 8 skewers with 2 shrimp each. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes per side, brushing once on each side with extra marinade.
  • 6. To serve, place a lemon half in the bottom of 8 wine glasses, cut-side down. Into each lemon half, stick 2 skewers with 3 shrimp and 1 skewer with 2 shrimp, balancing them. Insert a rosemary sprig into each lemon half (using an extra skewer to jab a hole, if necessary). Serve the glasses atop small plates with a bowl of my Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise for dipping.

This recipe is a little too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still enjoyed the lemon-herb sauce. I served it over grilled vegetables and it was delicious.

I'm allergic to shrimp, but I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. He said it was the best shrimp he's ever had.

I followed the recipe exactly and my shrimp were perfect. Maybe Sarah Jones didn't cook them long enough.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out dry and tough.
