Shrimp Scampi Recipe
Serves: 4 | Prep. Time: 20 mins. | Grill Time: 10 mins.
Ingredients:
- 500g Shrimp
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Whole Chilli
- 100mL Olive Oil
- 1 Slice of Lemon
- KB High Tide BBQ Rub
Directions:
STEP 1: Peel the shells off of the prawns, give them a quick rinse to help remove the intestines, and add KB High Tide BBQ Rub to taste.
STEP 2: Peel and slice the garlic cloves to be about 2 mm thin. Feel free to add one or two more sliced garlic cloves if you'd like to.
STEP 3: Give the chili a quick rinse and chili and chop it up width-wise. Remember to remove the seeds if you can't take the heat.
STEP 4: Now, preheat your grill with your griddle on the rack to about 428°F (220°C).
STEP 5: Add a little olive oil and when it is hot, add the garlic slices and the chilli. Quickly mix everything together, then lay the shrimp down.
STEP 6: Let them cook without stirring for about 3 minutes or until you see they're getting cooked through the bottom half, then flip them over to cook the other side.
STEP 7: After they're all cooked, use your spatula to get it all in a bowl or plate, add the juice of one slice of lemon on top, and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if you'd like.
