SHRIMP MARINATED IN LEMON & OLIVE OIL

By jarren

Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp in their shells
• 3 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tomato, seeded and cut into 1/4”dice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped 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. Note: the shrimp taste better the longer they sit in the marinade. Leave them in the fridge for a couple of hours if you have the time.

Can use chopped basil instead of parsley, add a clove of crushed garlic and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for more flavor.
