Grilling can break free from the routine of traditional barbecue fare. It's typical for the first grill of the season to celebrate with favorites like sausages and pork neck. But why not venture into more inventive territory with each subsequent barbecue? Adopting this approach can transform a simple meal into a culinary extravaganza, particularly when you include grilled shrimp in your repertoire.

Why are we convinced these delicious crustaceans will steal the show, particularly during the May Day weekend? They offer a fresh and unique option compared to the usual grilled dishes. Additionally, there's an increasing enthusiasm for shrimp in various dishes like pasta, soups, and sushi, making them an established part of culinary trends.

To enhance the shrimp's flavor, it's essential to marinate them properly before they hit the grill. A robust marinade rich in herbs, tomato passata, and garlic makes grilled shrimp irresistibly tasty. Read on to discover the preparation steps in detail.

Grilled Shrimp Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1.1 pounds of tiger shrimp,
  • 3 cloves of garlic,
  • 1/3 cup of olive oil,
  • 1/2 cup of tomato passata,
  • 3 tablespoons of lemon juice,
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons of chopped herbs such as basil, parsley, dill, thyme,
  • 1 teaspoon of salt,
  • a pinch of powdered chili pepper,
  • a handful of cherry tomatoes.

  1. Begin by peeling the shrimp and carefully cutting along their backs to remove the intestines.
  2. Mix the marinade with the tomato passata, olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and chili. Let the shrimp marinate in this mixture for about half an hour.
  3. Next, skewer the marinated shrimp, alternating with cherry tomatoes, and grill them on each side. Shrimp require minimal grilling time—usually, 3-4 minutes per side is sufficient, but this can vary with the grill's temperature.

Enjoy your meal!
