Grilled Garlic Shrimp

It smells so good!

Everyone is salivating, just waiting to eat them!

What a way to start the Father's Day celebration!

A grill full of Jumbo shrimp, and a cold drink, preferably

a beer or glass of white wine!

This is a real treat on Father's Day that I love to prepare for all my brothers!

As Always,

ENJOY!

4lbs. Jumbo Shrimp(8-12/lb.)

shell on and deveined,

frozen at Costco.

1 head of garlic, chopped fine
2 Tbs. kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil

2 gallon zip-lock bags

     Defrost shrimp in the refrigerator.  Drain well on paper towels, patting dry.  Divide the shrimp equally into the two zip- lock bags.  Add 1/4 cup olive oil to each bag, 1Tbs. kosher salt to each bag, 

and half the chopped garlic to each bag.  Seal the bag, pressing all the air out as you close it. 

Mix and massage the marinade into the shrimp in the sealed bag. 

     Place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before grilling.

   When ready to grill, skewer the shrimp onto metal skewers.  Put on a hot grill for 2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. 

  Remove cooked shrimp from the skewers and serve on a large platter with dipping sauce of choice. 

Provide lots of napkins for your guests, since peeling the shells is a messy job, but oh, so fun!!!

All the garlic and salt on the shells goes on your lips and fingers!  YUM!!!

Leaving the shells on the shrimp while grilling keeps them moist and safe from being too salty!
