I found this recipe on a calendar. DH never cared for shrimp until I tried this recipe, and now he can't get enough of it. I've done this several different ways now, including from frozen in a saute pan when I'm looking for something quick for dinner. Ingredients:
cilantro, shrimp with lime butter baste |
20 extra large shell-on shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail intact |
lime, butter baste |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice |
8 springs minced fresh cilantro |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
kosher salt & white pepper |
Directions:
1. Rinse & dry shrimp.
2. Can skewer at this point, stabilizing by inserting one skewer through head of shrimp and another above tail and repeating. Or you can arrange shrimp on a foil covered broiling pan sprayed with cooking spray.
3. Combine baste ingredients and melt in microwave.
4. Preheat grill or broiler to high.
5. Reserving 1 Tb. baste, brush remaining baste on shrimp.
6. Grill or broil (top rack position) about 1 1/2 - 2 min per side, or until pink opaque. Remove shrimp to a platter and brush with remaining baste. Enjoy!
