Serves/Makes: 5

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled (tail-on shrimp)
• 6-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to cook Barbecued Garlic Shrimp with Basil:

• Peel shrimp, leaving the tail on. Thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer set aside.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan.
• Add garlic and red pepper.
• Simmer for 1 minute and stir in basil.
• Brush each skewer lightly with garlic butter, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place on coals over medium heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until very pink.
• Remove barbecued shrimp from grill and brush with remaining garlic butter.

Note:

To thread shrimps onto skewers, fold one end towards the inside, so that skewer penetrates each shrimp into 3 places, to prevent shrimps from moving around while turning skewers.

Tip:

Always soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes, before using, to prevent them from burning on the grill.
