Grilled Herb Shrimp
source: Barefoot Contessa Parties! cookbook
- 2 pounds large shrimp (16 to 20 per pound), peeled and deveined (see note below)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, small-diced
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup minced fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
Directions
- Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Skewer the shrimp. Heat a grill with coals and brush the grill with oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Grill the shrimp for only 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
Recipe Note:
I leave the tails on when I’m peeling the shrimp. Since I used a small George Foreman Grill, I cut each wooden skewer in half and threaded three shrimp on each. If you are using a larger George Foreman Grill grill you will not need to cut the skewers. I spooned on all of the onion and herbs from the marinade as I placed the shrimp onto the grill. I didn’t want to lose a bit of flavor. Even the bits of onion were sweet and delicious. Total grilling time: 1.5 minutes.

That looks amazing! I love shrimp! I find them very versatile, saute them, boil them, grill them, puree them, lol! Grilling them is of course my favorite! I really think that you can taste its meat's flavor more distinctly when cooked that way.
