Steps:
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Thread shrimp onto skewers; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter mixture. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Add lemons to grill, cut side down, during the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Serve immediately, drizzled with remaining butter mixture, garnished with lemons and parsley, if desired.
GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

GRILLED HERB SHRIMP
Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Skewer the shrimp. I use 3 or 4 shrimp on a 12-inch skewer for dinner. Heat a grill with coals and brush the grill with oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Grill the shrimp for only 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER
A very simple recipe with just enough seasoning to enhance the flavor of the grilled shrimp without overpowering it. The best way to eat the shrimp is to peel them at the table and dip in extra butter sauce left over from the recipe. I have prepared the recipe with and without the rum - I do not find the rum to add anything special.

CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP
This grilled garlic and herb shrimp recipe is very easy, IF you can just walk out into the backyard, and pick a handful of your own fresh, green sprigs. However, these are so amazingly delicious, if you don't have a garden, then do splurge and buy a bunch of all the herbs. And get the extra large shrimp so they can grill longer and get maximum caramelization.

Steps:
- Place salt, lemon zest, and 3 cloves garlic in bowl of a mortar and pestle. Pound with the pestle until mixture begins to form a paste, about 2 minutes. Add chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme and pound with pestle until mixture begin to come together, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into herb mixture. Grind together until mixture begins to form a sauce for marinating, about 1 minute. Pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir mixture with a spoon until mixture is thoroughly combined, adding additional olive oil as needed. Mixture should be fairly thick but pourable.
- Place shrimp in a large bowl and mix in about 2/3 of the sauce, reserving 1/3 for serving. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers (pierce each twice, once through large part of shrimp, once through small part). Place skewers on hot grill. Cook on each side until shrimp are bright pink and opaque and exterior is beginning to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer skewers to serving platter.
- Pour remaining sauce into mixing bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Spoon sauce over shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Jumbo Shrimp: Choose large, fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy shrimp that are already peeled and deveined to save time.
- Butterfly the Shrimp: Butterflying the shrimp allows the marinade to penetrate more deeply, resulting in more flavorful shrimp. To butterfly the shrimp, simply use a sharp knife to cut a slit along the back of each shrimp, stopping just before you cut all the way through.
- Garlic Herb Marinade: The garlic herb marinade is what gives these shrimp their amazing flavor. Make sure to marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for the best results.
- Grilling the Shrimp: When grilling the shrimp, make sure the grill is hot before you start cooking. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
Conclusion:
These buttery garlic garden herb grilled jumbo shrimp are the perfect summer dish. They are easy to make, incredibly flavorful, and sure to be a hit at your next cookout. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or grilled vegetables.
