Categories     Citrus     Shellfish     Quick & Easy     Grill/Barbecue

Yield Makes variable servings.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Giant (4-6/lb. count) Shrimp, 2 per person;
Limes, juiced, one per two shrimp;
Garlic, minced, as you like it;
Cilantro, minced, 1/4 cup/@ shrimp;
Olive Oil, as needed to moisten.

Steps:

  • Marinade & Topping: Combine the lime juice, minced garlic, minced cilantro; add enouhgolive oil to allow good mixing of all. Make enough to marinate the shrimp and use as a sauce or topping on the presentation. Set aside the portion you do not use for marinade. SHRIMP: Rinse, drain, dry. Pull off the legs and peel the shells only partially off, this allows the marinade in and keeps them moist on the grill. Place in a bowl large enough so you can spoon the marinade on and around all shrimp. Cover with plastic wrap, return and rotate and turn them occasionally, while you get the fire going, or longer. Longer give more flavor. When the coals are ready, grill them using the Canadian Rule but keep an eye on them: shrimp cook a little quicker than most seafood. When the shells are red, time to serve. Spoon the reserved sauce over the shrimp, add your sides, pour the chilled wine and enjoy. Life is good.
