Ingredients
- 1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined (26-30/lb. size), tails optional
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
- Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Fire up the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Aim for a smokin’ hot grill!
Grill the Shrimp:
- Place the seasoned shrimp directly on the grill grates.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are opaque and have a nice grill mark. Be careful not to overcook.
Make the Scampi Sauce:
- In a large skillet or pan, melt 1/4 cup (half stick) of butter over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes aromatic.
Deglaze with Wine or Broth:
- Pour in the white wine or chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.
Finish the Sauce:
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and incorporate into the sauce.
- Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine with Grilled Shrimp:
- Add the grilled shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the flavorful scampi sauce until well-coated. Let them soak up the goodness for a minute or two.
Serve:
- Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving platter.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
