Shrimp On The Barbie

Shrimp cooked on the bbq is absolutely delicious!

I can’t say I cook shrimp too often on the grill, but when I do, it’s a special treat.

Shrimp cooked by any method needs  a little dressing up and the best way to dress them up for grilling is marinating them.

Marinating Shrimp–It’s Different Than Meat

Marinating shrimp is very different from meat in most cases. Meat is a lot more forgiving than seafood.

If a marinade contains anything acidic, that marinating time must be kept to under 30 minutes. The reason for this is the acid will “cook” the shrimp and make it very rubbery. Therefore, you must keep a careful watch to make sure the shrimp is drained and cooked within that 30 minute timeframe.

This shrimp marinade doesn’t have any acid. It’s merely garlic-infused olive oil, so they can be marinated overnight. It’s the glaze that contains the citrus juices and that’s applied at the end of the cook time.

Infused Oil Done Quickly

You can make flavor-infused oils in a jiffy.

All you have to do is gently heat the oil with whatever herb you choose. The key is not overheating the oil; you just gently warm it.

To make the garlic oil I used for these shrimp, I placed 2 large well-crushed garlic cloves in 1/2 cup of olive oil and microwaved it on high for 15 seconds. Then I let the oil cool.

You can use this method with any herb when you need a quickie flavored oil.

Soak Those Skewers

If you use bamboo or any wooden skewer, make sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes. This stops them from burning too much. Keep in mind they will burn slightly on heat-exposed areas.

To keep the bottoms from burning and/or getting too hot,  I place aluminum foil under the tips. Here’s a link to a photo of how I do this:  Making Kabobs/Skewers.
