Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemons
2 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large shallot, minced
1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
16 jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/4 pounds), shells on
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Squeeze juice from 1 lemon into a small bowl. Add cilantro, garlic, shallot, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Combine, and set aside.
  • Using a paring knife, split each shrimp down the back, cutting just enough to expose the vein. Remove veins, leaving shells and tails intact.
  • Fill the spaces between the shells and flesh with cilantro mixture.
  • Cut second lemon into 8 wedges. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange 8 shrimp and 4 lemon wedges in skillet; saute until shrimp is pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from pan, and set aside. Repeat with remaining shrimp and lemon, adding remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Pour white wine into empty skillet. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any cooked-on bits; cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over shrimp, and garnish with cilantro.

I added some chopped red bell pepper to the stuffing for a bit of color. It turned out great and added a nice crunch.

I didn't have any cilantro on hand, so I used parsley instead. It turned out great! The parsley added a nice fresh flavor to the stuffing.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the stuffing was still delicious. I would recommend cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.

These shrimp were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
