Ingredients
  

  • 1 large shrimp
  • 1/2 unsalted butter
  • 6 garlic
  • 1/2 red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 1 chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and Pepper To Taste

Instructions
 

  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.

  • Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Aim for a smokin' hot grill!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a serving platter.
  • Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
