Ingredients
- 20 -25 large Marina Del Rey Wild Caught Argentinian Shrimp 20/30 per lb, thawed and peeled leaving tail on.
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon zested
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Deviled Eggs
- 8 large free run eggs boiled
- 4-5 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mini cucumber finely chopped, seeds removed – approximately 1 mini cucumber
- 2 tablespoons jalapeño finely chopped, seeds removed – approximately 1 large or 2 small jalapeños
- 2 tablespoons red bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with enough water that there's 1 ½ inches of water above the eggs. Cover and heat on high until water begins to boil, turn heat to low and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leave covered for 14 minutes.
- Place shrimp in a medium bowl. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, lime zest and pepper. Toss to coat completely. Set aside for 15-20 minutes to marinate.
- Rinse eggs under cold water continuously for 1 minute. Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water. Gently dry with paper towels. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter.
- Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add 4 tablespoons yogurt, 1 tablespoon mustard, cucumber, jalapeño, red pepper, salt, pepper, dill and mix well. Taste and add additional yogurt, Dijon, salt & pepper to taste. Mixture should be very creamy.
- Place mixture in a small resealable plastic bag, cut a small hole in a bottom corner and pipe mixture into the egg whites and set aside.
- Grill the Shrimp: Heat grill to medium high heat, approximately 400 °F. Skewer the shrimp through the headend first then through the tail section. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and firm.
- Pan Sear the Shrimp: For this method, do not skewer the shrimp. Heat a non-stick skillet on medium high heat, and sear shrimp until pink and firm to the touch (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Stand grilled shrimp vertically on prepared eggs and serve.
- Place additional grilled shrimp on platter and serve with hot sauce or cocktail sauce for dipping.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
