MARINATED GARLIC SHRIMP

By peridot728

Ingredients

• 3 lbs shrimp, shells and veins removed
• 1 cup light extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 small onion
• 6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• paprika, fresh parsley, lemon wedges
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic

Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a food processor or blender, process all ingredients
(except shrimp, butter and 2 cloves garlic). Process until smooth.
Put shrimp into a Ziploc bag with blended ingredients. Marinate,
refrigerated, for 2 hours, turning once or twice.

In a small saucepan, add 2 pressed garlic cloves and butter. Melt butter
slowly, lifting saucepan and swirling constantly. Add 1­2 tablespoons
freshly squeezed lemon juice and a few pinches of chopped fresh
parsley (optional). Divide butter into small serving bowls for each
person. Top with a pinch of paprika in the center of each bowl. Keep
warm in oven while preparing shrimp.

Broil shrimp over white hot coals, turning once. Broil for 3­4 minutes on
each side (leaving them in one spot on the grill in order to develop grill
marks), or broil until shrimp are opaque in color.
Serve shrimp garnished with fresh kale, curly parsley or leafy celery
sticks and lemon wedges.

Optionally, shrimp may be tossed with buttered bread crumbs before
serving
