Sometimes I really want to shine with some special culinary recipe. Is it possible to surprise with barbecue? In principle, yes, but it is difficult. But if you need to make a lasting impression on the woman you like, then this option is not very suitable. In order to roast meat well over charcoal, you need, in addition to the raw materials and the marinade, two more things: time and attention. But both that and another in such vital moments should be given not to culinary, but to the object of adoration. If you take a course on a barbecue, then a better dish than shrimp on the grill, and hard to come up with. The refined taste that goes well with fruit and white wine, as well as the speed of preparation guarantee unforgettable emotions, and, therefore, give a chance of success.
This dish refers to snacks, it does not cause heartburn or heaviness in the stomach, so you can afford to make it spicy. All preparations can be made in advance, at home, so that you can not be distracted from pleasant conversations in nature and reduce cooking time to a minimum. First you need to stock up on marine arthropods. In order to cook shrimp on the grill, you should choose them correctly. Firstly, this is the case when size is important. The more crustaceans, the better. Jumbo, that is, giant, and best of all, tiger, are perfect. Secondly, the color. It should be blue-gray, not red. Frozen shrimps on the grill will be heat-treated a second time, which means that their taste will suffer. Here you really need to choose - or coals, or boiling water. Third is quantity. The treat should be plentiful, but not excessive. For two half a kilo is quite enough, it is possible a little less or more. If a lady overeat, all the romanticism of the atmosphere will evaporate, but it will be even worse if she remains hungry. It should be borne in mind the fact that there are few dishes in the world that are consumed as readily as shrimps on the grill. The recipe for their preparation begins with the pickling process.
A pound of shrimp needs juice of one lemon, a spoonful of salt and hot spices, which can be used as usual black or cayenne pepper, and Tabasco sauce, and any other seasoning. The main thing is not to overdo it, because not all women like too spicy dishes. It should be remembered that citric acid readily reacts with metals, so pickling is best in neutral dishes: enameled or plastic. The process time is at least four, but not more than six hours.
There are two main opinions on how to cook shrimp on the grill: in peeled form or together with the shell. Both of them are good in their own way. In the first case, they are more convenient to eat, in the second - less worries. There is a certain freedom of choice, but the possibility of washing your hands should be taken care of in advance in any case.
There is one more point at which attention should be paid. Ordinary skewers intended for barbecue are too wide and will cause shrimp too extensive injuries, and the task is to make them not only tasty, but also look aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, special skewers will be required, preferably square and thin, about a millimeter thick. You can make them yourself, if there is suitable material, or buy in the department of barbecue products.
And then came the very moment when, comfortably sitting in nature, you can proceed directly to the demonstration of culinary art. Firewood should burn out, and the coals should be covered with a white coating. Shrimps on the grill, as well as meat, do not tolerate flame, but cook much faster, so you should act similarly, but somewhat more lively. Within a few minutes they need to have time to turn four times. On this, in fact, we can consider the cooking process complete. They should be eaten immediately and with great appetite. Good luck
