PERFECT GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thaw the shrimp. Then pat the shrimp dry.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees).
• Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix with your hands to combine.
• Place directly on a grill and grill 1 to 2 minutes per side until bright pink and cooked through.
• Remove from the grill and squeeze on fresh lemon juice from several wedges of the lemon, to taste.

• Whisk together 1/4 cup of the oil, 2 tablespoons of the thyme, ancho powder and chopped garlic in a small bowl. Skewer the shrimp and brush with marinade.
• Place the remaining 1/2 cup of the oil in a small saucepan, add the sliced garlic and cook until the sliced garlic is lightly golden brown. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve the oil.
• Increase the heat of the grill to high.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade, season with salt and pepper and grill until golden brown on each side, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skewers, transfer to a platter and drizzle with some of the reserved garlic oil and the garlic chips. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme and garnish with oregano leaves.
