Gulf Coast Grilled Shrimp Recipe

Shrimp are sold by weight and sized by the number of shrimp it takes to make a pound. So a 40 count shrimp gives you about 40 shrimp per pound. When it comes to portion sizes, plan on about 1/3 to 1/2 pound per person for shelled shrimp or 3/4 pound per person if the shells are still on.

Gulf Coast Grilled Shrimp Recipe 

2 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon of lemongrass
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 shallot, diced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
