Wrapping shrimp in a foil packet (with butter, curry paste, and garlic) and cooking it on the grill is perhaps the easiest way to achieve the savory, saucy dinner of your dreams — all you need is a loaf of good, crusty bread to mop up every last drop.
Lobster rolls are undeniably delicious — but they're not cheap. Instead of lobster, used grilled shrimp for a New England-style seafood roll that doesn't break the bank.
This shrimp recipe — with its peas, asparagus, and mascarpone — marries the best of spring and summer flavors. Preserved lemon adds a touch of funk and makes for a natural pairing with Pernod-marinated shrimp.
