The cook, step by step.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Done

   We start making the chili oil, this is what we do in the morning before preparing the shrimp so that it can cool off properly. Grab a glass pot and squeeze 3 garlic cloves here. Then grab a rasp and grate the shallot finely and also add it. Now spoon in the dried herbs and put a saucepan on high heat with the sunflower oil in it. We're heating the oil to the smoking point now. In the meantime we heat the outside of the glass pot with some hot tap water. This so that the jar doesn't burst apart when we pour the oil in later. As soon as the oil smokes, it's time to pour this into parts in the jar. Stir this in between and watch out for your fingers. The best thing to do is put all this in the sink just to make sure. Pour the jar completely full and then let it cool. Your chili oil is ready for use now!

   We then remove the gambas from the freezer and thaw it. Then pat them well dry with kitchen roll and put them in a bowl to marinate. Now mix 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled chili oil and let marinate.

   Now it is time to stir up the barbecue at a temperature of between 200 and 220 degrees Celsius. Once this temperature is reached, the cast iron skillet goes on the barbecue and you add the marinated gambas. Bake them all around until they are no longer transparent, this is an indication of the right diet.

   BBQ temperature: 220°C
