Description

Luscious shrimp goes from a quick marinade to the grill or grill pan in less than 20 minutes. Serve with a yummy sriracha dipping sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp (buy large or extra-large)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • Pinch of kosher salt and pepper

Sriracha Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoon Sriracha hot chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Pinch of ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Italian Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Thaw shrimp, if needed. Peel and devein shrimp.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, granulated garlic and a pinch of slat and pepper. Stir to combine and add shrimp. Gently toss shrimp so the marinade coats the shrimp.
  3. Set aside and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat. (Heat an oiled slotted pan if cooking on a grill so the shrimp doesn’t fall through the grates.)
  5. Make the sriracha dipping sauce by combining the  mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice, and ground white pepper a bowl and stir to until sauce is smooth.
  6. Stir in soy sauce, a drop at a time to taste.
  7. Garnish with minced parsley, set sauce aside.
  8. Arrange the shrimp on a preheated slotted pan on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes, then using tongs, turn the shrimp over and cook for another 2 minutes or until pink and opaque and the shrimp starts to curl into a “c” shape.
  9. If cooking on a grill pan, place shrimp directly on the pan.
  10. Serve warm with dipping sauce and garnish with minced fresh parsley.
