Butterflied Grilled Garlic Shrimp Food

GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP

Steps:

• Clean the shrimp, remove the shells. Make a slit down the back of the shrimp and clean well. This will also create the "butterfly" effect. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
• Mix together all of the ingredients except the shrimp.
• Add shrimp and coat well with the mixture. Cook within 10 minutes of combining or the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp.
• In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat.
• Add the shrimp and cook about 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

GRILLED GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Thread shrimp onto skewers; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter mixture. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Add lemons to grill, cut side down, during the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Serve immediately, drizzled with remaining butter mixture, garnished with lemons and parsley, if desired.

• Grill the shrimp over a medium-hot fire, shell side down, until lightly charred, about 1 minute.
• Turn and grill the other side until lightly browned, about 40 seconds. Turn the shrimp again. Brush them liberally with more herb butter, sprinkle with rum and grill until barely cooked through and bubbling, about 1 minute longer.

BROILED BUTTERFLIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Peel, devein, and butterfly shrimps. Arrange butterflied shrimp in a shallow baking dish in a single layer. Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.

• Sprinkle arranged shrimp with both types of bread crumbs. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Pour remainder of butter evenly over shrimp.
• Broil about 3 to 5 minutes until shrimp or bread crumbs begin to brown and shrimp are opaque. Turn shrimps over and broil another 3 to 5 minutes until done.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED PRAWNS WITH SRIRACHA-LEMONGRASS BUTTER

Steps:

• On a cutting board, using a pair of kitchen scissors, or sharp paring knife, cut the shrimp lengthwise through the shell, along the top side about 1 inch below the head and press to flatten. Pull out and discard the intestinal vein that runs lengthwise.
• In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the softened butter with the sriracha, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fish sauce and lime juice and season with the salt. Microwave on high power just until soft enough to brush but not melted, about 5 seconds.
• Light a grill and oil the grates. Arrange the butterflied shrimp in a hinged grill basket, shell-side down, brush with oil and season with salt. Brush very lightly with some of the butter. Grill the shrimp, shell side down until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Brush the shrimp with more of the butter, turn and grill until lightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the shrimp to plates and serve with the remaining butter, naan, lime wedges and cilantro. Serve right away.
