Grilling shrimp with the shells are left protects the meat from
burning and prevent sticking. But you can't just season them right
before grilling, the flavors can't penetrate. So marinate instead
and use a bit stronger flavor level than usual to compensate.
- 1 lb raw 16-20 count shrimp deveined ( shells on or off )
- 1/4 cup white wine (not chardonnay)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbs chili paste ( optional )
- 1 tbs toasted sesame oil.
Add sherry, spices, and oil to shrimp. Chill for 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Cook on
medium-heat grill. Serve as is or with a good cocktail sauce. I've made a curry-based
cocktail sauce that was wonderful for this too.
