Crunchy on the outside, tender, moist, and sweet on the inside. 

I've made this recipe three times in the last month and it was perfectly delicious every time. 

It's an easy recipe that has a "wow" factor. It's even great at room temperature so it's perfect for cocktail parties.

Into a large shallow bowl, add shrimp to chopped garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper then add the olive oil.

Now you are going to add the bread crumbs a little at a time until the shrimp are lightly coated with the mixture.

Marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes.

Thread onto skewers and grill for about two minutes on each side. 

The recipe calls for extra-large shrimp. I used large shrimp and they were just fine. 

Adriatric-Style Grilled Shrimp

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds extra-large shrimp
    1 small clove garlic
    3 to 4 sprigs flat-leaf Italian parsley
    Salt Freshly ground black pepper
    1⁄3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    ½ cup fine, dry plain bread crumbs
    2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
    Skewers for grilling

Directions

    • Shell and devein the shrimp.
    • Peel and finely chop the garlic. Finely chop enough parsley leaves to measure 1 tablespoon. Place the shrimp in a large, shallow bowl with the garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and bread crumbs a little at a time until the shrimp are lightly coated with the mixture. There should be just enough bread crumbs to allow the marinade to cling to the shrimp but not so much that they form a thick crust, and only as much olive oil as the crumbs will absorb. Let the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes.
      Preheat a charcoal or gas grill until it is very hot.
    • Thread the shrimp onto the skewers. Cook the shrimp until pink, about 2 minutes on each side. After turning the skewers, sprinkle with the lemon juice. Serve at once.
