Spicy Garlic Shrimp (adapted from Cook's Illustrated Magazine)
2 lbs raw shrimp, with or without shells
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (can use less)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Skewers (optional)
Chop the garlic roughly. Sprinkle with the salt. Using the flat part of the knife blade, smash the salt into the garlic until it is a smooth paste. Scrap the garlic paste and put in a large bowl.
Add the paprika, cayenne, lemon juice and olive oil. Mix together to form a thick paste. Add the shrimp and rub the paste into them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Skewer the shrimp.
You can either grill the shrimp or broil it in your oven.
To charcoal grill, have your grill on medium-high heat, put the shrimp on cook for about 2-3 m,inutes per side, turning them once. The shells should turn a really bright pink.
To broil, put the oven rack at the highest position. Arrange your shrimp on a cookie sheet or shallow pan. Broil, 2-3 minutes per side, turning once. Or if you don't have skewers, you can put them in a single layer in a shallow pan and broil them. Turning them once during the cooking process
They're good hot or warm. But I think they taste best cold.
