Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil
24 jumbo shrimp, about 1 1/4 pounds, shelled and deveined

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, shallots, mustard, wine, lemon juice, olive oil and basil in a bowl. Stir to blend. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Let stand until ready to cook.
  • When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor or indoor grill to high, or preheat a broiler to high.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade and pour marinade into a small saucepan. Arrange shrimp 6 to a skewer, pushing the skewer through the tail section, then the head section, so shrimp will lie flat on grill or under broiler (see note). Arrange them barely touching and without crowding.
  • Place skewers on grill or on rack under broiler, about 6 inches from source of heat, and cook about 3 minutes or until shrimp can be lifted from grill or rack without sticking. Turn skewers and cook about 2 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil and simmer about 2 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp from skewers and arrange them symmetrically on 4 plates. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and serve.

This recipe is a disgrace to the culinary world. I would rather eat a bowl of nails than eat this again.

I'm surprised this recipe has so many positive reviews. It was the worst shrimp dish I've ever had.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out tough. I'll have to try this recipe again.

I accidentally overcooked the shrimp, but the sauce was still delicious. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll be more careful next time.

I had some trouble finding fresh basil, so I used dried basil instead. It still turned out great.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I substituted cilantro in the sauce. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have some leftover shrimp after a party or cookout, and this is a great way to use them up.
