📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep - Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for ⏱️ 30 minutes (reduces burning of the sticks). Preheat Grill to med/high (400˚F).
2
Heat marinade - Combine all marinade ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Pour half of the mixture into a ramekin and leave the remaining marinade in the pan (You'll brush on half now and brush on the remaining marinade after the shrimp are grilled).

Skewer 4 shrimp on each damp skewer without leaving spaces. Lay skewers flat on a rimmed cookie sheet. Brush one side of the skewered shrimp with sauce and refrigerate for ⏱️ 2 minutes until the butter firms up. Flip shrimp over, brush second side, and refrigerate ⏱️ 2 minutes until butter firms up.

Grill - Place skewers on the hot barbecue and grill shrimp with the lid on about ⏱️ 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through and no longer transparent. Remove shrimp from the grill. Don't overcook or they will be rubbery. Brush on reserved sauce and serve.
