Broiled Shrimp With Tunisian Spice Recipes

PERFECT BROILED SHRIMP (FAST & EASY!)

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• If frozen, thaw the shrimp.
• Pat the shrimp dry.
• Mince the garlic. In a medium bowl, toss with the shrimp with the olive oil, garlic, oregano, onion powder, and kosher salt*. Toss until fully combined. If using breadcrumbs, add them and toss until all shrimp are coated.
• Place the shrimp on a baking sheet in an even layer. (You can add a few additional pinches of breadcrumbs if there were places where they did not stick to the shrimp.) Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil until juicy and opaque, about 3 to 6 minutes, until juicy and opaque, rotating the tray as necessary for even cooking.
• Spritz with fresh lemon juice from lemon wedges, sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve immediately.

SPICY BROILED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thaw shrimp overnight in the refrigerator (or thaw in the bag in lukewarm water if you forget to plan ahead.) I used 31-40 count shrimp, so if you're lucky enough to find larger shrimp, increase the cooking time a tiny bit.
• When you're ready to cook, remove shrimp from the refrigerator and drain in a colander placed in the sink, then use a paper towel to pat shrimp dry if they still seem wet.
• Preheat broiler and put the rack so it's as close to the broiler as possible.
• Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in two individual casserole dishes or one larger casserole dish.
• I sprayed the casserole dishes with non-stick spray but it's probably not essential.
• Once shrimp are arranged in a single layer, add seasonings in this order:
• Drizzle shrimp with olive oil or melted butter and squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp (I used a squeezer that catches the seeds).
• Sprinkle Worchestershire sauce over the shrimp.
• Sprinkle Creole Seasoning (or make your own Creole Seasoning Blend) over the shrimp.
• Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper (skip the salt if you use Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, which has salt).
• When the rest of the meal is ready or almost ready, put shrimp under the broiler and cook for 7-8 minutes, or just until the shrimp turn pink and feel barely firm to the touch.
• Don't overcook. If your shrimp are larger than 31-40 count they may take a minute or two longer to cook, but not much.

BROILED SHRIMP WITH TUNISIAN SPICE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, butterfly the shrimp by splitting them down the middle - but not all the way through, leaving the tails intact (the original recipe said to just use kitchen scissors and cut them down the middle and leave the tails intact. . up to you which method to use).
• Lay the shrimp in a single layer in a large shallow dish. In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients, except lemon wedges. Pour over shrimp and let marinate for 2 hours.
• Preheat broiler. Broil shrimp for 4 minutes or until pink. Serve with lemon wedges.

OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
• Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.
