What You’ll Need

  • 1 pound shrimp (20-25 count, heads on)
  •  
  • 1 large lemon
  •  
  • 2 tablespoons oil (olive)
  •  
  • Salt
  •  

How to Make It

  1. Rinse shrimp and drain. Cut lemon in half.
  2. Heat grill or cast-iron frying pan until very hot. Pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and cover the cooking surface evenly with the oil.
  3. Place shrimp on grill or in the pan, sprinkle liberally with salt. Squeeze lemon juice directly over shrimp. Turn shrimp over and sprinkle more salt and lemon juice.
  4. Shrimp should turn pink and shells should “brown” slightly when cooked. As soon as they are cooked, remove and place on serving platter. Garnish with lemon.

Note: Because the shrimp will be cooked at high heat, do not use a non-stick surface. Use a flat-iron grill or a  large cast-iron frying pan for best results.
