CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP

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.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH OIL AND BASIL SAUCE

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.

SHRIMP WITH BASIL, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
• Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

SHRIMP LINGUINE IN AN OLIVE OIL BASED GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot big enough for the half lb. of linguine noodles.
• Put your shrimp in bowl and Fill with HOT water enough to cover shrimp COMPLETELY (set to the side).
• Chop your Oregano and Garlic Cloves and measure out your Italian Herb Seasoning.
• Set your saucepan on a LOW heat.

• Then add in your Oregano, Garlic and McCormick's Seasoning.
• Stir until well mixed. Then add your 1/4 Cup of white wine stirring slowly.
• Adjust heat to a HIGH Simmer for sauce, stirring occasionally.
• Your water should be about ready to add the noodles at this point, add them to boiling water now.
• (If you prefer to leave the tails on your shrimp you may skip this step).
• At This point your Shrimp should be Unthawed enough to remove the tails.
• Remove the tails from all shrimp placing them in a fresh bowl as the tails are removed.
• Add your shrimp into your saucepan and cook until all shrimp are thoroughly cooked. (If you have never cooked raw shrimp before they will be done when there is no longer any Grey color on them and they are red as you would expect cocktail shrimp to be.).
• Once shrimp are finished cooking remove them from the sauce and place in separate pan or clean bowl to avoid overcooking and set sauce to a VERY LOW SIMMER.
• Once your Noodles are done cooking Strain them THOROUGHLY and put them back in your pot.
• Now you may add the Shrimp and Sauce to your Noodles.
• With everything in the pot set the temp to a Low/Med temp to warm while mixing and stir thoroughly to mix Sauce, Shrimp and Noodles.
• Serve on a plate in a bowl may garnish with parsley snips or whatever is to your liking.
• ENJOY!
