Head on Shrimp With Chile, Parsley, and Garlic
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 head-on, tail-on prawns or jumbo shrimp (1 ½-2 pound)
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Flaky sea salt
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for the grill
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Method:
- Prepare grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, and 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl.
- Working one at a time, use kitchen shears to cut along the length of the back of each prawn just deep enough into flesh to expose vein; remove. Toss prawns with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in another medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Grill prawns, turning occasionally until shells are bright red and meat is cooked through (it will look slightly opaque), about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with garlic-parsley mixture and toss to coat; season with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer prawns to a serving platter and pour garlic-parsley mixture over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
