Directions:

Shrimp
  • Peel shrimp leaving the tail on. Save the shells for shrimp oil.
  • Skewer shrimp catching the tail and the head on the skewer, 4-6 per skewer. I put my skewers on a BBQ seafood tray to make them easier to transport, turn etc.
  • Refrigerate while you make the shrimp oil and Tartar sauce.
Shrimp Oil
    • Combine all oil ingredients in a sauce pan. Let steep over low heat approximately 30 minutes.
    • Strain oil from sauce pan into a glass measuring cup. Reserve 2 Tbsps in a separate jar to brush on shrimp later. Sit cup in ice water to cool it quickly. Let cool completely before making the tartar sauce.
    Tartar Sauce
    • Combine all Tartar Ingredients EXCEPT the shrimp oil and capers in a blender. Blend well. Pour the shrimp oil in slowly while blender is running. Sauce will emulsify and thicken. Add capers at very end and pulse for just a second so you can see caper bits in the sauce.
    • Chill in a side serving dish.
    Shrimp
    • Heat BBQ grill on high.
    • Reduce heat to medium when grill is hot.
    • Brush shrimp with the reserved shrimp oil when first put them on the grill and when you turn them.
    • Grill approximately 2 minutes per side. Watch carefully for change from translucent to opaque. Do not over cook.
    • Serve with Tartar sauce on the side.
