Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup (8 Tbsp) unsalted butter
• 4 cloves of garlic, pressed or minced
• 1 Tbsp cajun spice (provides light heat; its not too spicy)
• ½ tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice (from ½ medium lemon)
• 2 lbs large shrimp (21-25 count), peeled and deveined
• 12 medium wooden skewers

Directions

• Soak wooden skewers in water 30 min (reduces burning of the sticks). Preheat Grill to med/high (400˚F).
• Combine all marinade ingredients in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat. Pour half of the mixture into a ramekin and leave remaining marinade in pan (Youll brush on half now and brush on remaining marinade after shrimp are grilled).
• Skewer 4 shrimp on each damp skewer without leaving spaces. Lay skewers flat on a rimmed cookie sheet. Brush one side of the skewered shrimp with sauce and refrigerate for 2 min until butter firms up. Flip shrimp over, brush second side and refrigerate 2 min until butter firms up.
• Place skewers on the barbie and grill shrimp with the lid on about 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through and no longer transparent. Remove shrimp from grill. Dont overcook or they will be rubbery. Brush on reserved sauce and serve.
