Ingredients

  • 2 lbs deveined raw jumbo shrimp
  • lemon pepper
  • garlic salt
  • hot sauce
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. THESE ARE THE COLOSSAL SIZE SHRIMP, NOT JUMBO AS IT SAYS IN THE INGREDIENTS (CAN'T SEEM TO GET COLOSSAL SIZE TO PRINT.).
  2. Using a sharp knife, butterfly each COLOSSAL shrimp through the back area where the vein has been removed.
  3. Place them shell side DOWN side by side flat on the perforated grill.
  4. Sprinkle each shrimp with lemon pepper, garlic salt and a couple drops of hot sauce (more if you like them real spicy).
  5. Baste each shrimp with a bit of olive oil using a brush.
  6. Begin cooking on barbecue set at ~350°F (temperature will drop slightly when the shrimp are added). Continue cooking ~18 minute or until when touched, shrimp meat will spring back.
  7. We serve these large beauties 3-4 on a plate and allow our guests to remove the shell part themselves. (You can also remove the shells prior to serving.).
  8. This is great on a hot summer evening with vegetable salads, some crusty bread and a great bottle of wine. Hope you enjoy!
