Grilled Shrimp Remoulade
- 1/4 cup Creole mustard* or other coarse-grain mustard
- 1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
- 2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 1/2 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish
- 2 1/2 tablespoons minced dill pickle
- 2 tablespoons minced scallion greens
- 2 teaspoons paprika (not hot)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
- 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 lb large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb)
- Special equipment: 14 (12-inch) wooden skewers
- To make remoulade, whisk together mustard and vinegar in a large bowl until combined well, then whisk in 2/3 cup oil with parsley, horseradish, pickle, scallion, paprika, cayenne, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Snip through shells of shrimp down middle of back using scissors, exposing vein and leaving tail and first segment of shell intact.
- Devein shrimp, leaving shells in place.
- (Shells will prevent shrimp from becoming tough on outside when grilled.)
- Toss shrimp with remaining 1/4 cup oil, remaining teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl, then thread about 6 shrimp (through top and tail, leaving shrimp curled) onto each skewer.
- Prepare grill for cooking.
- If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal.
- Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds.
- If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
- Grill shrimp on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total.
- When just cool enough to handle, push shrimp off skewers into remoulade, then toss to combine well and cool at least 15 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
