GRILLED ROSEMARY GARLIC SHRIMP

Category: Seafood and Fish - Grilled

1/4 cup finely chopped garlic, mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tbsp minced fresh rosemary leaves plus sprigs for garnish
3 tbsp olive oil plus oil for brushing shrimp
16 jumbo shrimp (about 10 per pound)
4 (12-inch) bamboo skewers
Lemon wedges as an accompaniment

In a large bowl stir together garlic, minced rosemary, and 3 tablespoons oil and add shrimp. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

In a shallow dish soak skewers in water to cover 30 minutes and prepare grill.

To grill, thread 4 shrimp on each skewer and brush with additional oil. Grill shrimp on an oiled rack, set about 5 inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.

Alternatively, brush shrimp with additional oil and grill in a hot well-season ridged grill pan, covered, over moderately high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

Garnish shrimp with rosemary sprigs and serve with lemon wedges. Serves 4
