Ingredients
-
1 pound uncooked easy-peel shrimp size 16-20 (thawed if frozen)
1/2 lemon
1Tbsp olive oil
1tsp kosher salt
1tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Tips
Shrimp cook very quickly. Be sure to account for the fact that they will steam in their own juices even off the heat.
Directions
Peel and clean the shrimp under cold running water. Lay out on paper towel or blot dry then place in large zip-lock bag. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper. Seal bag and toss. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour tossing occasionally. Preheat grill or grill pan on highest setting. Once the grill or grill pan is hot, place shrimp on grill. They may jump around a bit, but that is perfectly fine. As soon as they begin to turn pink around the edges, turn them over. Squeeze the lemon over the shrimp while they finish cooking. As soon as they are pink all around and no longer look gray or translucent, take them off the heat. Serve immediately.
