The Third Coast

• Jul. 31, 2007 - Olivias Perfect Shrimp

 

I decided to post this recipe for what I believe is the perfect recipe for grilled shrimp.

 

Like Bubba on Forrest Gump, I have sampled just about every possible combination and variation of these crustaceans, and by accident, one evening when tossing together some spices aboard the boat I came up with the following:

 

Olivias Perfect Grilled Shrimp

 

  • 1 LB 26-30 count shrimp, peeled, with tail on
  • 2 TBSPN Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 TBSPN Curry Powder
  • 1TBSPN Minced Garlic
  • 1TBSPN Minced Ginger
  • 1 TSPN Minced (fresh) Mint
  • 1 TSPN Minced (fresh) Basil

 

8 Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least an hour.....

 

-Head and peel the shrimp, but leave tail on

-In a big ziploc combine shrimp and prepared ingredients

-Marinate for at least an hour

-Double skewer the critter, 6 on each and grill for no more than 2 minutes per side on your stern rail barbeque (or whatever grilling device you might have)

 

We like to eat 'em with fried rice, grilled mushrooms, chopped cilantro, and a big, grilled flour tortilla.....

 

Very simple.....very tasty.

 

Oh yeah, and an ice cold beer or two. Maybe three.

 

Enjoy ya'll!

The Captains Profile:

Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You’re mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, that’s his problem, now isn’t? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.
