Grilled Shrimp
SERVES: 2-4
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 8 minutes
COURSE: Main
When grilling shrimp, simplicity and timing are everything. Simple seasoning, a nice olive oil and less than 2 minutes per side result in the best tasting shrimp ever. A great salad add-on!
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound large, cleaned shrimp
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grates
- 4 wooden skewers
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Using your hands, gently toss with the oil until fully coated.
- Next, thread the shrimp onto a skewer, approximately 5 per skewer. Preheat your stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill over the highest heat. Brush or spray the grates with oil. Once it’s hot, grill the shrimp for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pro Tip: Soak your wooden skewers in warm water for approximately 30 minutes before adding your shrimp.
