Grilled Whole Shrimp & White Wine Lemon Cream Orzo

[civilsmoker]

So what to you do when it is 21 degrees and dropping fast……. Well you fire up the grill!

Broke out some more 4/6 count whole shrimp….split the tales and body to clean out all the not so un-tasty stuff, then skewered them and dressed them with a classic Olive and kinders blend (seafood and buttery steakhouse)

On the Webber bottom down first…..

Flipped then top side down for color and to finish them….INT 145-150

The boy finishing some pan seared greens…..these were blanched in seasoned water then seared…..if you sear in a hot pan and get just a little bit of color it adds a really nice flavor!

The wife’s white wine lemon cream orzo!

So nice this meal was so elegant we broke out the timber china….topped with some fresh chopped herbs and parm……

Man oh man the combo of all three is magic!

Between you and BrianTexoma you are really making my mouth water! Those babies are not shrimp; more like creatures from the ocean's depth! Around here we can't find such large shrimp.

Thanks Brian and holy smokes that combo will be a feast. We often marinade shrimp in adobo sauce and grill. It is fantastic that way!

So nice this meal was so elegant we broke out the timber china, and while chatting about our next cosmetic dermatologist Santa Monica appointment, we topped it with some fresh chopped herbs and parm……

That sounds amazing! Grilling shrimp in 21-degree weather shows real dedication. The olive oil and Kinders blend must have added great flavor, and finishing them with a nice sear was a perfect touch. The greens and white wine lemon cream orzo sound like ideal sides, and serving it all on the good china makes it even better. A perfect, elegant winter meal!

Yum!!! Curious on the white wine lemon orzo recipe? Looks very tasty.
