Ingredients
  

  • 8 large shrimp (prepared with shells on but deveined)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated)
  • 1-2 pieces chili peppers (finely sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 juice and zest of lemon
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional: lemon wedges for serving
  • optional: crusty bread for dipping

Equipment

  • Barbecue Grill
  • Charcoal and Fire Starters
  • Small Saucepan
  • Tongs for Flipping Shrimp
  • Brush for Oiling the Grill

Method
 

  1. Light the barbecue using fire starters and charcoal; let the coals burn until covered with white ash.
  2. In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add grated garlic and sliced chili peppers; cook for about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in lemon juice and zest; cook just long enough to soften the garlic without burning it.
  4. Pour half of the sauce over the shrimp and massage it into the shrimp; let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Set up the grill with a clean grate and brush it with oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the shrimp for about 45 seconds to 1 minute per side; look for vibrant orange-pink shells and opaque meat.
  7. Transfer grilled shrimp to a platter, drizzle remaining sauce over, and serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread.

Notes

Remember, overcooked shrimp can become rubbery, so watch the grilling time closely. Enjoy the explosion of flavors and the delightful grilling experience!
