Categories     appetizer

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon Calabrian chile flakes
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra-large (16 to 20 per pound) shrimp, shelled and deveined, tail-on

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
  • Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.

Tips:

  • Properly Devein the Shrimp: Make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein. This ensures a clean and flavorful bite.
  • Use Quality Skewers: Opt for sturdy wooden or metal skewers that can withstand high temperatures without burning.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil enhances their taste and tenderness.
  • Broil at High Heat: Broiling the shrimp at high heat for a short duration ensures a perfectly cooked, juicy interior and a slightly charred exterior.
  • Watch the Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the shrimp while broiling, as they can quickly overcook and become tough.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces, such as melted butter, lemon-herb sauce, or spicy mayonnaise, to complement the grilled shrimp.
