Seasoned with Old Bay, a little garlic, and some charred lemons, these grilled shrimp generate a classic East Coast feeling. Great for dinner with a side of corn on the cob or serve as a tapas treat with an icy glass of Rosé wine!
Tip : If you are in a bit of a rush, you can make the aioli with a good quality mayonnaise, juice and zest of 1/2 lemon, 1 clove finely grated garlic, and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Not quite as vibrant, but a good substitute.
