So Much More Than Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp
I came up with this recipe one day when i was just playing around with different ingredients that I love and some really great giant shrimp. You can use smaller shrimps for this with no problem, just make sure they start out uncooked with the peel on. This is a great, easy recipe, great for impressing your guests, or just for a 2 person hedonistic shrimp feast. Been there, done that! * Preparation time includes minimum marinating time.

DIRECTIONS
- Separate shrimps into two large freezer bags. Add all marinade ingredients, seal bags and shake well. Let marinate in refrigerator anywhere from 1/2 hour to 3 hours maximum. *Note, shrimp can be defrosted in marinade if time is tight, and will come out just as good.
- Preheat BBQ to medium-low heat. Meanwhile, in a small microwavable bowl, dump basting sauce ingredients together, then microwave until butter is melted. Give it a stir and set aside. Remove shrimps from marinade and discard marinade liquid. If your shrimps are on the small side, thread them onto metal skewers, but if they are the jumbo variety you can grill them as is.
- Grill, with shells still on, basting with sauce and turning as each side turns pink and opaque, removing each shrimp or shrimp skewer once cooked, to a platter tented with foil.
- Serve immediately with lots of napkins, peel and eat. Enjoy!
