Grilled Lemon Herb Shrimp

Yield:
8 servings

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup olive oil
  2. 1 tablespoon dried oregano, crumbled
  3. 1 tablespoon dried thyme, crumbled
  4. 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  5. 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  6. 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  7. 24 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  8. 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions:

In a large bowl stir together oil, herbs, zest, salt and pepper, add the shrimp, and toss to coat well. Let the shrimp marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Stir in the lemon juice, let the mixture stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, and drain the shrimp in a fine sieve.

Grill the herb-coated shrimp on a rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals for 3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.
