Rep Power: 3 | | Other: | Ingredients: | | Time: 18 minutes Difficulty: easy Serving Size: 4 | - 1 lb (20 count) "jumbo" fresh wild-caught shrimp - shells on
- 1 medium red onion - quartered and leaves separated
- Red and Orange sweet peppers - cut to the same size as the onion pieces
- 1 Lemon
- 1 Blood (or any kind) orange
- Pepper
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 8 long wood skewers
| | Preparation: | - Lay the shrimp, in one layer in a non-reactive dish.
- Squeeze the juice of the lemon and the orange over them.
- Grind some pepper to taste.
- Let them marinate for 1 hour or longer but no more than 3 hours.
- Place the skewers in a dish and cover with water.
- Let them soak for about 30 minutes.
- Pre-heat the grill to high (gas) but you will cook using an indirect heat method.
- Build fire with an indirect spot (charcoal or wood fired)
- Using 2 skewers for each, put one or two leaves of onion, then a shrimp, then a pepper piece, and so on.
- You should get about 4 to 6 shrimp on each set of skewers, depending on the length of the skewers and the size of the shrimp.
- TRICK - pierce the shrimp through the bottom of the body, where the legs are, it is softer and assembly is easier.
| | Instructions: | - After a 1 hour or so, place the shrimp on platter to transfer to the grill, pour the remaining marinade over the skewers and drizzle with olive oil.
- Place on the grill over indirect heat.
- Grill for 3 minutes and turn over, grill for 3 minutes more.
- Serve with a squeeze of additional citrus.
