Garlic and herb shrimp: picking the herbs
- lemon zest
- 3 cloves sliced garlic
Pound kosher salt, a little lemon zest and sliced garlic in a mortar to a coarse start.
Wad the herbs together, slice across both ways and chop, then crush them into the garlic until fairly fine but not a paste.
- olive oil
- 2 lb shrimp
Grind in a drizzle of olive oil for about a minute, then stir in enough more oil for the right thickness.
Mix two thirds of the herb mixture thoroughly with the shrimp, reserving a third; bag and marinate in the fridge about three hours.
Grill over very hot charcoal close to the fire a few minutes per side until just cooked through.
- red pepper flakes
- cayenne
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- lemon wedges
Whisk the reserved herb mixture with red pepper flakes, a pinch of cayenne, lemon juice and a last drizzle of olive oil; spoon over the shrimp and add lemon wedges.
