Title: Dill And Garlic Shrimp Skewers
Categories: Gourmet/bon, January 199
Yield: 1 servings

18 lg Garlic cloves; unpeeled
1 tb Dill seeds
2 tb Minced fresh dill
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
1/2 ts Dried hot red pepper flakes
2/3 c Vegetable oil
Eighteen 8-inch wooden
-skewers; soaked in warm
; water for 1 hour
18 lg Shrimp; shelled

In a saucepan of boiling water boil the garlic for 15 to 20 minutes, or
until it is tender but not soft, drain it, and discard the peel carefully,
leaving the cloves whole. In a bowl whisk together the dill seeds, the
fresh dill, the lemon juice, and the red pepper flakes, add the oil in a
stream, whisking, and whisk the marinade until it is emulsified. Onto the
end of each skewer thread a shrimp and 1 garlic clove. Arrange the skewers,
shrimp end down, in a bowl just large enough to hold them. Pour the
marinade over the shrimp, and let the shrimp marinate, cover loosely and
chilled, basting them occasionally, for 3 hours. Drain the shrimp, arrange
them in a shallow baking pan, and bake them in the upper third of a
preheated 425°F. oven for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are just cooked
through.

Serves 6.
