Grilled Brined Shrimp With Garlic Oil Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium.
• Whisk together 1/4 cup of the oil, 2 tablespoons of the thyme, ancho powder and chopped garlic in a small bowl. Skewer the shrimp and brush with marinade.
• Place the remaining 1/2 cup of the oil in a small saucepan, add the sliced garlic and cook until the sliced garlic is lightly golden brown. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve the oil.
• Increase the heat of the grill to high.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade, season with salt and pepper and grill until golden brown on each side, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skewers, transfer to a platter and drizzle with some of the reserved garlic oil and the garlic chips. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme and garnish with oregano leaves.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC AND BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Stir shrimp, oil and garlic in a large dish to combine. Add breadcumbs and parsley and toss until shrimp are evenly coated. Place on plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cover and refrigerate up to 3 hours.
• Grill shrimp on medium high heat until just opaque in the center and breadcrumbs begin to brown. About 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer skewers to platter, and surround with lemon wedges.

GRILLED GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until marinade is smooth, about 20 seconds.
• Pour marinade into a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Add shrimp to the bag and toss to coat with the marinade. Seal bag and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers, 5 to 6 shrimp per skewer. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-RED CHILE-THYME MARINADE

Steps:

• Place chiles in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, and let stand for 1 hour to soften. Remove chiles from the water, coarsely chop, and place in the jar of a blender. Add the garlic, thyme, and oil and blend until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Place the shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over, and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high. Remove the prawns from the marinade and grill for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, with the cover closed. Serve on brown paper bags, if desired.

GRILLED SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Prepare brining solution and brine shrimp for 20-25 minutes -- remove shrimp feet and devein with shells left on (this isn't absolutely necessary but it does seem to result in moister grilled shrimp), rinse and dry.
• Using mortar& pestle smash garlic and salt into a smooth paste.
• Add cayenne and paprika and mix well.
• Add olive oil and lemon to form a thin paste.
• (NOTE: Make sure the paste isn't too loose or it will not cling to the shrimp.) Toss shrimp with paste until evenly coated.
• (This mixture can be covered and refrigerated for up to an hour before grilling).
• Grill until shells are bright pink- 2-3 minutes per side.

OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
• Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHILE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat. (If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, with the vent on, following the same timing.) Using a Microplane or the small holes of a box grater, grate the garlic and chile into a medium bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, salt and baking soda. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Clean the grates with a grill brush (no need to grease the grates), then grill the shrimp until well browned, 2 to 4 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid to maintain temperature.) Flip and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Eat right away.
