Grilled Shrimp with Oregano and Lemon
Ingredients for 8 servings:
  • 1/2 cup salted capers—rinsed, soaked for 1 hour and drained
  • 1/2 cup oregano leaves
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 2 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and de-veined
  • Salt
Instructions: On a cutting board, finely chop the drained capers with the oregano leaves and garlic. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, along with the lemon zest and lemon juice. Season the sauce with pepper.If you're making the sauce ahead, it can be refrigerated overnight and brought to room temperature before serving.
Light a grill. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers and grill over high heat, turning once, until the shrimp are lightly charred and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and transfer them to a platter. Spoon the sauce on top and serve. www .foodandwine. com
