Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high.
- Double-skewer the shrimp with 2 metal skewers, one skewer through the thicker part of the shrimp and one close to the tail (wooden skewers will work too, but soak for 30 minutes in water first); skewer 6 shrimp per skewer set. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and skewers.
- Mix together the paprika, garlic powder and coriander in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the shrimp with the seasoning mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side.
- Arrange the shrimp on the lettuce cups and drizzle with the Creamy Herb Sauce. Top with the cilantro and dill.
- Combine the yogurt, cilantro, dill, mayonnaise, chili paste and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice as needed to make the sauce as thick, thin or acidic as you'd like. Season with salt and pepper.
CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP
This grilled garlic and herb shrimp recipe is very easy, IF you can just walk out into the backyard, and pick a handful of your own fresh, green sprigs. However, these are so amazingly delicious, if you don't have a garden, then do splurge and buy a bunch of all the herbs. And get the extra large shrimp so they can grill longer and get maximum caramelization.

Steps:
- Place salt, lemon zest, and 3 cloves garlic in bowl of a mortar and pestle. Pound with the pestle until mixture begins to form a paste, about 2 minutes. Add chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme and pound with pestle until mixture begin to come together, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into herb mixture. Grind together until mixture begins to form a sauce for marinating, about 1 minute. Pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir mixture with a spoon until mixture is thoroughly combined, adding additional olive oil as needed. Mixture should be fairly thick but pourable.
- Place shrimp in a large bowl and mix in about 2/3 of the sauce, reserving 1/3 for serving. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers (pierce each twice, once through large part of shrimp, once through small part). Place skewers on hot grill. Cook on each side until shrimp are bright pink and opaque and exterior is beginning to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer skewers to serving platter.
- Pour remaining sauce into mixing bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Spoon sauce over shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER
A very simple recipe with just enough seasoning to enhance the flavor of the grilled shrimp without overpowering it. The best way to eat the shrimp is to peel them at the table and dip in extra butter sauce left over from the recipe. I have prepared the recipe with and without the rum - I do not find the rum to add anything special.
