Time 25m

Yield 4 servings for appetizer, 2 servings for entree

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 large raw shrimp (wild U-10 or 15/20 count) peeled, deveined and cut in "fan" shape (similar to butterfly)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from1 small lime), plus lime wedges for garnish
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha) or more, to taste
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons bottled minced garlic or 6 fresh cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 Thai chile, sliced thin or habanero or Scotch bonnet
1/4 cup canola or olive oil
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 to 5 grinds black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Put the shrimp into a glass bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and pour 1/2 to 2/3 if it over the shrimp. (Reserve the remaining marinade to brush on the shrimp during grilling.) Allow the shrimp to marinate for only 8 to 10 minutes or the lime juice will begin to "cook" the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side while brushing with the reserved marinade. I use a silicone brush. Remove the shrimp from the grill to a platter and serve garnished with lime wedges.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH LEMON AIOLI



Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Aioli image

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 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices cured lemon
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Soak cured lemons briefly in a bowl with cold water to remove curing brine, about 10 minutes. Dry lemons with paper towels and finely mince.
  • Stir minced lemon, mayonnaise, tarragon, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill aioli in the refrigerator until cold, at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Put shrimp in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle paprika and salt over the shrimp, stir to coat shrimp completely.
  • Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a plate and serve with lemon aioli.
