Just some little things that can make you appear to be a gourmet super-hero.
Cut the tails in half, right down the center. Brush with a lightly seasoned olive oil ( salt and white pepper ) Cook over the BBQ meat side down to get some grill marks. Finish shell side down. With the shell cut before cooking, the meat will shrink up a little bit. Super easy to get out in bite sized pieces for dipping.
Easy sides:
Grilled artichokes. Boil ahead of time until just before finished ( par cook ).
After they are chilled cut them in half, remove thistley center, brush with oil and grill along side the tails.
Asparagus, thick cut onions, red bell pepper slices are also a real hit.
If you use fresh herbs in ANY portion of your recipe, save some back as a colorful/fragrant garnish for each plate.
