Lemon Grilled Shrimp Cocktail

Recipe Ingredients

64		Shrimp - peeled, deveined, (large)
		Tails left on
4		Lemons - halved crosswise,
8		Rosemary sprigs - for garnish (large)
		Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise - (see recipe)
		Marinade
1/4 cup	59ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup	59ml	Fresh lemon juice
4		Garlic cloves - finely minced with
		A bit of salt
1 tablespoon	15ml	Finely-minced fresh rosemary
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Soak 24 (10-inch) wooden skewers in water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. (This helps prevent their burning on the grill.)

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.

Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Drain and pat dry. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare hot coals for grilling or preheat the broiler.

Thread 16 skewers with 3 shrimp each and 8 skewers with 2 shrimp each. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes per side, brushing once on each side with extra marinade.

To serve, place a lemon half in the bottom of 8 wine glasses, cut-side down. Into each lemon half, stick 2 skewers with 3 shrimp and 1 skewer with 2 shrimp, balancing them. Insert a rosemary sprig into each lemon half (using an extra skewer to jab a hole, if necessary). Serve the glasses atop small plates with a bowl of my Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise for dipping.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
