This recipe is perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions, offering a taste that will impress any seafood lover. Follow these steps to prepare a dish that's sure to become a favorite.
Instructions:
- If not already done, peel and devein the shrimp. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the red wine over the shrimp, ensuring they are all well-coated.
- Add the minced garlic to the bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, let it marinate for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing red.
- Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers, if desired, to prevent them from falling through the grill grates.
- Place the shrimp on the preheated grill.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them as they can become tough and rubbery.
- While the shrimp are grilling, pour the marinade (red wine and garlic) into a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Let it simmer until it reduces and thickens into a glaze, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Remove the shrimp from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the red wine garlic glaze over the grilled shrimp.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad, rice, or grilled vegetables.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Shrimp: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh shrimp. If you use frozen shrimp, make sure they are fully thawed before grilling.
- Marinate for Flavor: Allow the shrimp to marinate in the red wine and garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes to infuse them with flavor.
- Properly Preheat the Grill: Make sure your grill is fully preheated before cooking the shrimp to ensure even grilling and to achieve the ideal texture.
- Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, usually within 2-3 minutes per side. Overcooking can make them tough, so watch them closely.
- Use a Grill Basket: Using a grill basket can make it easier to handle the shrimp and prevents them from falling through the grill grates.
