Salt-Crusted Shrimp with Greek Dipping Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup oil, lemon peel, and juice. Stir in oregano, garlic, and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes (Or, make up to to 12 hours ahead; cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.)

Using a small sharp knife, make a slit about 1/8-inch deep down the backs of the shrimp and remove the vein but do not remove the shells. Place the shrimp in a large bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil to lightly coat.

Sprinkle salt over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.

For a charcoal grill, grill shrimp on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals 3 to 4 minutes per side or until shrimp shells are pink and the flesh is opaque. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place shrimp on greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
