Ingredients

4 servings

90 g / 6 tbsp butter (, unsalted)
1/4 tsp salt
3 tsp garlic (, very finely chopped (do not use mincer, Note 1))
1.5 tbsp lemon juice (, plus more to taste)
500 g / 1 lb large shrimp / prawns (, raw, peeled and deveined (Note 2))
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika ((plain or sweet ok too))
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice ((skip if using stove))
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 lemon (, halved, grilled if desired)
Lemon wedges or slices
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Steps

Brush BBQ grills with oil, then preheat on high until very hot.
If shrimp are small and might fall through grills, skewer them (use 2 skewers, Note 3)
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
Add garlic and salt. Stir until garlic is LIGHT golden brown, then immediately remove from stove (residual heat will make garlic golden & crispy).
Stir through lemon.
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels (to ensure crispiness!)
Just prior to cooking, place in bowl, sprinkle/drizzle over remaining ingredients. Toss gently to coat.
Working quickly, place shrimp on BBQ and cook each side for 2 minutes until golden and crusty.
Immediately remove shrimp onto serving plate.
Drizzle over all the Lemon Garlic Butter, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with fresh lemon.
Crusty bread to mop up the crazy delish butter on the plate is essential!
