Cedar wrapped shrimps – Serves 4
You’ll need:
- 500g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 Cedar Works grilling wraps
- Olive oil
- Your favourite spice rub
- Lemon, fresh parsley, and spring onion for garnish
Step 1:
Soak the cedar wrap papers and string in water for about 15 minutes, holding the wraps down with a glass to keep submerged.
Step 2:
Mix two parts olive oil with one part spice rub. Toss the shrimp with the oil mixture. Place inside the soaked cedar wrap. Tie it up with a soaked piece of string.
Step 3:
Preheat grill or oven to 200°C. If grilling, turn the heat down to low and grill for 2-3 min. per side or more until done. If using the oven turn oven down to 175°C, place the wraps on a cookie sheet in the middle of the oven and bake for 3 minutes. Turn over and bake for 2-3 minutes more or until done.
Step 4:
Remove from oven or grill, carefully open the parcels, and serve with garnishes.
The key to good shrimp is how long you cook them. The minute they curl up and turn opaque they are done. Don’t leave them on the grill a minute longer. Grilled shrimp is best enjoyed the day it is made but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. We like to use the leftovers on top of a salad or tossed with pasta.
