Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 8–10 garlic cloves, finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 and 1/2 pounds large raw shrimp (20–40 per pound, peeled, deveined, with or without tail on)
- 5–6 skewers
Instructions
- If you’re using wooden skewers, 30 minutes prior to grilling soak them in water so they don’t burn on the grill.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. When the butter is melted, set the saucepan aside for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Pat the shrimp dry and arrange them on the skewers. Put the skewers in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Divide the butter mixture in half, setting one half aside. Brush the other half onto both sides of the shrimp.
- Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve sprinkled with parsley, with the reserved sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
