Shrimp Marinated in Lemon and Olive Oil

By AzWench

You'll want to gobble up these succulent morsels immediately, but patience will be rewarded; the shrimp taste better the longer they sit in the marinade. Leave them for a couple of hours, if you have the time.

Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, in their shells
• 3 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tomato, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp, cover, and bring back to a boil. Continue boiling, partially covered, until the shrimp are just done, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain. Let the shrimp cool and then peel them.

In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the lemon juice with the olive oil, tomato, salt, pepper, and parsley. Add the shrimp and toss.
