A nice twist on a classic favorite. When catering I serve mine hanging from the edge of a HUGE martini glass with crushed ice in the center and a bowl of red cocktail sauce propped in the ice. Ingredients:
2 pounds unpeeled large shrimp |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup cocktail sauce |
1 lemon, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Place shrimp, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Coat shrimp with oil mixture, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3. Cook shrimp on preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Peel shrimp.
4. Serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
