Grilled Shrimp on Skewers

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 2 lbs large shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
• 3 1/2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 3 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 2 tsp minced parsley
• 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

rinse the shrimp thoroughly in cold water and pat completely dry. put the shrimp in a large bowl and add the bread crumbs and both oils; toss lightly to evenly coat the shrimp. add the parsley and garlic, season with salt and pepper and toss again. set aside to marinate at room temp for at least 30 mins and up to 2 hours.

light a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler. curl each shrimp around its featherly tail and thread onto a skewer; be sure to pierce each shrimp at least three points to anchor it securely and prevent it from sliding around when you turn the skewers. grill or broil the shrimp as close to the heat source as possible, turning once, until a thin, golden crust forms on both sides, about 3 1/2 mins. serve immediately.
