Sharon'S Signature Grilled Lemon Parsley Shrimp

Name: Sharon'S Signature Grilled Lemon Parsley Shrimp
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb large shrimp (cleaned and peeled with tails on); 1/2 cup lemon juice; 5 Tbls Extra Virgin Olive Oil; 3 large garlic cloves, peeled; 1 heaping Tbls sea salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1/3 cup fresh flat leaf (Italian) parsley; Bamboo skewers; Red leaf lettuce for garnish(optional); curly parsley for garnish (optional)

Servings: persons

1
Soak bamboo skewers in water to prevent burning.
2
Prepare Marinade: Put all ingredients except shrimp, skewers and garnish in blender or food processor and blend/pulse until garlic and parsley are well minced and mixture is sort of greenish and cloudy. (You may want to reserve a couple of tablespoons of marinade for plating as described later.)
3
Put the shrimp in a ziplock bag and add the marinade. Squeeze all the air out of the bag and seal. Shake the bag to mix the marinade and the shrimp.
4
Place the bag of shrimp/marinade in the refridgerator for 3-4 hours. The shrimp will start to cook (turn pink/white), this is ok. (Yes, this goes against convention, but I never cared much for convention.)
5
Heat grill to med/high. Make sure grill is fully heated before you start to cook the shrimp.
6
Remove shrimp from bag and skewer with wet skewers (about 4 per skewer). Grill shrimp for about 3-4 minutes per side (or until pink/opaque). Don't over cook.
7
Can be eaten right off the skewer or for more formal plating, place a piece or two of red leaf lettuce on the plate, place shrimp on the lettuce, garnish with curly parsley and drizzle a teaspoon of reserved marinade over the top.
