OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

These shrimp marinate for only 30 minutes in a flavorful mix of lemon juice, garlic and the powerhouse spice blend, Old Bay seafood seasoning. Don't be tempted to let them sit in the sauce any longer than that because the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp and make them tough. Serve with some boiled or roasted potatoes for a grill-lover's version of a shrimp boil.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large lemon
2 large cloves garlic
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
  • Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.

SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON

A simple but lavish bath of olive oil and lemon juice is the Italian way of showing off superfresh seafood. The key, according to Marcella Hazan, is that the dish should never see the inside of a refrigerator, which changes the texture of the seafood and the flavor of the olive oil. She calls for shrimp in this recipe, but the formula also works with squid, clams and meaty fish fillets.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings as an appetizer, 4 to 6 servings as an entree

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 pounds medium-large shrimp (about 26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined (tails optional)
Flaky sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 large pinch freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Torn or sliced crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
  • Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Seafood: Opt for high-quality, fresh pompano and shrimp to ensure the best flavor.
  • Prepare the Marinade: Allow the fish and shrimp to marinate in the flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Grill at High Heat: Preheat your grill to high heat to quickly sear the seafood and create a crispy exterior.
  • Cook Shrimp Separately: Due to different cooking times, it's recommended to grill the shrimp separately from the pompano.
  • Use a Grill Basket: Consider using a grill basket to easily flip and remove the seafood without it falling through the grates.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the cooking time to prevent overcooking the delicate fish and shrimp.
  • Serve with Grilled Lemons: Grilled lemon slices add a delightful citrusy flavor to the dish.
  • Garnish with Herbs: Enhance the presentation and flavor by garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill.

This Grilled Pompano and Shrimp with Lemon, Olives, and Bay Leaves recipe offers a delectable combination of flavors and textures.
