Ingredients

  • 16 Good quality jumbo shrimp deveined in shell, raw
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 lemons halved

Instructions

  • Preheat grill over high heat.
  • Butterfly shrimp by slicing almost through lengthwise, but leave shell on shrimp. (This will keep the shrimp tender while grilling.)
  • Brush shrimps with oil, season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill shrimp for 2 minutes on each side, until shells are hot pink and shrimp is opaque. (They will continue to cook off the grill so do not over cook!)
  • Place lemons on the grill, cut side down, for the last minute. The heat will release the juice from the lemons. To serve, squeeze grilled lemon wedges over shrimp.
  • Serve alone, with cocktail sauce, remoulade, or chimichurri sauce.
  • Peel and eat!
