Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine Gulf shrimp, Calabrian 'nduja, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Roasted Garlic Nage

    In a saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the mashed roasted garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On a serving platter, drizzle the roasted garlic nage over the grilled shrimp. Garnish with chopped basil and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
