Grilled Shrimp with Truffle Oil Vinaigrette
Yields: 4 servings Prep time: 10 min Grill time: 6 min Ingredients:
- 16 large Shrimp, uncooked
- 3 tablespoons Hacienda Guzman: Extra Virgin – Manzanilla Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Brezzi: Truffle White Oil
- 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped sweet onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation: Preheat BBQ grill (oil hot grill to help prevent sticking). Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving tails on. Using a sharp knife, butterfly shrimp by cutting along the inner curve or underbelly about halfway (almost completely through), leaving the tails firmly attached. Press the shrimp down flat like a butterfly. Place prepared shrimp in a shallow dish and sprinkle with olive oil; refrigerate, covered, until ready to cook. In a medium bowl, combine white truffle oil, lemon juice, onion, and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside. When ready to cook, season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Place shrimp onto hot grill and cook approximately 2 minutes on one side; turn and cook another 1 minute or until shrimp are opaque in center (cut to test). Remove from grill. To serve, arrange shrimp (split sides up) on a serving plate. Drizzle with a little of the vinaigrette. Place remaining vinaigrette in a small bowl and place on plate for dipping. Makes 4 servings. http://whatscookingamerica.net/ShrimpTruffle.htm
