Grilled Shrimp With Walnuts and Scallions
- 1 cup finely chopped Fisher Walnut Halves, lightly toasted
- 1 lemon (both the zest and juice)
- 14 teaspoon kosher salt
- 13 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 5 scallions, cut into thin rounds green and white parts both
- 2 lbs large shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 18 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Walnut and scallion mixture: Whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl, set aside.
- Shrimp: Preheat the grill and make sure it is hot before cooking the shrimp.
- Thread the shrimp on to skewers, and season with salt and pepper.
- Coat with vegetable oil and place and on the hottest part of the grill.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes and then turn over.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and have cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the skewers and transfer to the bowl containing the walnut and scallion mixture.
- Arrange shrimp on a platter.
- Serve immediately.
- Note: For easier cooking use 2 skewers when cooking shrimp, thread one through the area by the head of the shrimp, the other by the tails.
- This will keep the shrimp flat and will prevent them from spinning or falling through the grates during cooking.
- No time to grill?
- This recipe works just as well sauteed.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet and cook the shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through.
- Season with pepper.
