Mediterranean-style grilled shrimp
This recipe can be made using frozen or fresh tiger shrimp. If using
frozen, allow an extra 3-4 minutes cooking time.
1 Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon
rind, and garlic together in a bowl
large enough to hold the shrimp. Add
the chopped herbs, Tabasco, salt and
pepper and combine.
SERVES 4
TIME TO COOK 8MINS
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of 2 lemons (and a little
of the rind from one half, if
possible)
2 crushed garlic cloves, or
1
⁄
2
tsp garlic paste
2 Add the shrimp and coat them in
the olive oil. Set aside to marinate for
5 minutes.
6 sprigs of thyme, or small
bunch of parsley, basil, or
oregano, chopped
3 Thread the shrimp onto oiled metal
skewers and place in a grilling cage.
Hold one side over the campfire flame
until they turn pink (about 3-5 minutes).
Keep them above the flames so that
they do not burn.
drop of Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper
24 large tiger shrimp with
shells on (frozen are fine)
4 Turn the cage over and grill the
other side for another 3 minutes or so
until the shrimp shells are pink all the
way around.
Eat the shrimp with your fingers, and
peel away each shell while holding
the tail. It will be a messy process,
but well worth it.
