Yes, I'm still eating green garlic. The last bunch I bought was quite large and a lovely purple so we may be getting to the end of the season…. sob….
The weather has turned cold and rainy though, so, rather than cooking on the barbecue, mon mari has taken it apart, ordered some new replacement parts, and is painting it.
He's rather fond of his barbecue grill….
Actually, I should say 'grills'. He has the small charcoal grill that he uses for lamb chops and steaks; the Weber 'kettle' grill that he uses for chicken, burgers, pork tenderloin and veggies; the gas grill (that is being refurnished) that he uses for quick, weeknight cooking as well as fish and seafood and the smoker which he uses for, well, smoking.
For the record, I do not touch any of them. Some things are sacred.
But, when it's cold and rainy, the cooking comes back inside.
This is done in the oven – super easy!
A typical 'green sauce' would be parsley,
green onions and garlic. If you can't get green garlic, use green onions and regular garlic. This is reminiscent of the Italian Scampi, but without the
butter….
Shrimp in Green Sauce
12oz (350gr) shrimp (prawns), cleaned
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
4 tbs chopped, fresh parsley
3 green garlic, including green tops
Trim green garlic, slicing off the root and removing 1 layer. Thinly slice as much as you can, including the green tops.
Chop the parsley – I cut with a scissors.
Mix olive oil, lemon, chopped parsley and green garlic (or onion and garlic) in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and combine. Put into a small baking dish and bake, 400F (200C) 15 minutes, until shrimp are just cooked through.

Oh, we just got the first of the season’s green garlic yesterday–I’m going to make this!
Sounds delish! Gonna make it later this week.
I cannot get enough of green garlic. Unfortunately the season is coming to an end. I love this recipe,Katie, and will be making it soon. Before the green garlic disappears!
Ohhh yum, I love shrimp…still did not find any green garlic! This looks so tasty. It’s cold and wet here too! Ina
Oh, that does sound good and easy!
Sure does look and sounds great and simple.
Aren’t those colors just stunning? I’m sure it’s just fabulous too.
Serious sob for green garlic going out of season. That means we are no longer in early spring! How time flies.
And men and their grills. What can you do?
What a delicious looking dish! Love all the garlicky flavors in the sauce.
yum, sounds and looks tasty. Thanks for the recipe
Amy – yay for the green garlic!
Zoomie, and it’s easy – we like easy this time of year.
Christine, my supply is dwindling, too, sigh…
Ina, oh, I wish you could find it…. And I wish winter would go away again.
Pam, it is!
Ask Ms, ditto!
Susan, I have a thing for pretty food ;-))
Joanne – as to men and their grills – let them grill!
Brad, you are so welcome!
