Shrimp on the Salt
Submitted by:
Dick Begin
San Francisco, California
INGREDIENTS:
Coarse Rock Salt
Medium to large raw shrimp still in shells
White rice
3 Tablespoons of butter
2 Tablespoons of honey
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
Coarse pepper
Table salt
Preparation-
Heat 0.75 to 1" of coarse rock salt in a
disposable aluminum roasting pan; about 20
minutes until the crackling stops; salt
darkens (we use two small pans because they
fit nicely in our gas grill)
Place medium to large raw fresh or thawed
shrimp in their shells directly on the salt
(size is your choice; smaller cooks faster)
Cover with a sheet of foil and close grill
lid
Cook two minutes, flip the shrimp and cook
two more minutes (they will turn that
classic pink-red color; they are steaming in
their shells)
Prepare sweet sticky sauce for the shrimp
and rice
3 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
grind fresh coarse pepper, to preference
pinch of salt, to taste
Melt all of this together
Prepare white rice and shape in lower mound
on serving dish.
Serve:
Dump hot shrimp,
fresh off the grill, over rice.
Pour the sauce over the shrimp and rice.
Scoop the shrimp and rice together with a
large spoon onto plates
Shuck the shrimp with your fingers, a bit
messy but fun.
Some bits of the rock salt may remain stuck
to the shrimp; warn your family and guests!
Discard the aluminum pan and rock salt when
it cooled.
Enjoy!
