GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Grilled Jumbo Shrimp With Garlic-Herb Butter image

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.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Shrimp: Choose large, fresh shrimp for grilling. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance.
  • Proper Cleaning: Before cooking, remove the shells and devein the shrimp to ensure a tender and flavorful result.
  • Seasoning: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the natural flavor of the shrimp.
  • Garlic Herb Butter: Prepare the garlic herb butter in advance to allow the flavors to meld. Use a generous amount of butter to ensure the shrimp are well-coated and succulent.
  • Grilling Technique: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn opaque and pink.
  • Resting Time: After grilling, let the shrimp rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender texture.
