"Spaniards love to eat grilled shrimp at the counter of a good tapas bar while sipping a glass of chilled fino sherry or cold beer. Sucking the juices from the flavor-packed heads of the cooked shrimp is considered the best part."

Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt until well blended.
Step 2
Dip the shrimp briefly into the mixture to coat lightly.

Step 4
Decrease the heat to medium and continue cooking for 1 minute longer.
Step 5
Turn the shrimp, increase the heat to high, and sear for 2 more minutes, or until golden.
Step 6
Keep the shrimp warm on an ovenproof platter in a low oven.
Step 7
Cook the rest of the shrimp in the same way.
Step 8
When all the shrimps are cooked, arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
