How to Make So Much More Than Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp

  1. Separate shrimp into two large freezer bags.
  2. Add marinade ingredients (see below), seal bags, and shake well to coat.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.
  4. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-low heat.
  5. While the shrimp marinates, prepare the basting sauce: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine all basting sauce ingredients. Microwave until butter is melted, stirring once or twice.
  6. Set the basting sauce aside.
  7. Remove shrimp from marinade bags and discard the marinade.
  8. If using smaller shrimp, thread onto metal skewers. Jumbo shrimp can be grilled directly.
  9. Grill shrimp (or skewers), shell-on, basting frequently with the garlic butter sauce. Cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque on both sides (approximately 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer cooked shrimp to a foil-tented platter to keep warm.
  10. Serve immediately with plenty of napkins. Peel and enjoy!
  11. Enjoy your delicious and easy shrimp feast!
