The best way to prepare large shrimps is grilling. With small shrimps, this technique will not work, because they are quickly prepared and dry up. The mixture of spices for this recipe remains very minimal, as shrimp meat already has an ideal taste.
The same cooking recipe can be used for Caesar salad with shrimps.
Ingredients:
- tails of king prawns (in shell) - 1.4 kg;
- garlic teeth - 4 pcs .;
- lemon juice - 65 ml;
- olive oil - 115 ml;
- fresh oregano - 1/4 tbsp.
Preparation
Armed with a sharp knife, cut the shell along the back. Do not remove the shell (it will hold all the juice), but gently push it with your fingers to remove the so-called "vein" - an analogue of the intestine in the crustaceans, which is a thin black thread that runs along the entire length of the body.
Prepare a simple marinade by mixing lemon juice and butter with sliced oregano and chopped garlic cloves. Mix the resulting marinade with shrimp tails and leave for no more than half an hour. Surplus marinade simply shake, and then send the tails to the preheated grill, fried for three minutes on each side. During cooking, double-coat the tails with a marinade.
