Gamberoni alla griglia
Grilled Shrimp in the Italian manner
Ingredients
- 1 kilo 2 lbs shrimp or langoustines preferably unshelled and, if possible, with heads still on
For the marinade/sauce
- 250ml 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lemons juice of
- 1-2 garlic cloves finely minced
- A few sprigs of fresh parsley finely minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk all the marinade ingredients together in a mixing bowl until well emulsified. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
- In another bowl, add the shrimp and enough of the marinade to coat them nicely. Mix well and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
- While the shrimp are marinading, prep and heat up your grill.
- When the shrimp have marinated and the grill searingly hot, lay down your shrimp directly over the embers and grill no more than 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they have turned pink and browned a bit.
- Lay the shrimp out on a serving platter and nap with some of the remaining marinade as a sauce. Serve with any extra sauce on the side for those who want more.
