Cedar-Wrapped Grilled BBQ Shrimp – serves 2
You’ll need:
- 500g (or more) fresh or thawed jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
- A pack of Cedar Works grilling wraps with twine
- A good quality olive oil
- 1tsp of oregano
- 1stp of garlic
- 1 lemon
- chilli flakes (optional)
- salt & pepper to taste
Step 1:
Fill a small baking dish with cold water. Add grill wraps and twine and soak them for 10-20 minutes.
Step 2:
Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high.
Step 3:
In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Place 5 shrimp down centre of each soaked wrap, arranging with the grain. Squeeze ½ lemon evenly over shrimp. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired.
Step 4:
Fold up the edges of the wraps to overlap; tie with soaked twine.
Step 5:
Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are opaque. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and serve them with the grilled shrimp.
It’s an easy to prepare party dish that everyone will absolutely love and devour. Juicy, fresh cooked prawns are great just as they are, eaten plain. You can also serve them with dipping sauces such as thousand island, Thai sweet chilli lime, or homemade tartare. Two different dips with contrasting colours gives it a nice touch, or you can just pull out a jar of mayo and stir through a squirt of lemon juice.
