BBQ Grilled Shrimp
While I was lucky enough to get nearly-out-of-the-water shrimp, you can certainly rely on the fresh options at your local seafood market or grocery store. While we left the shells on to help hold them together during grilling, shelling and deveining prior to grilling works well, too. Either way, you’ll be left wanting more of these delectable shrimp at your next meal!

Instructions
  1. Rinse and dry shrimp. Thread them onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling. This helps ensure that the skewers won’t burn when grilled.
  2. Melt the butter and mix in bbq sauce. Brush shrimp with baste prior to placing on grill.
  3. Heat grill over medium high heat. Grill shrimp for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until shrimp are cooked through. They will begin to curl on the skewers as they cook. Baste them on each side as you flip them to ensure the sauce adheres to the shrimp as they grill.
  4. Serve immediately with additional bbq sauce and a squeeze of lemon.
Recipe Notes

Seriously, this recipe really is that simple.  And seriously, you will want another plateful of them when you finish your first batch.  And I have to admit that the leftovers are incredible the next day as the flavors have more time to settle into the meat of the shrimp.  Chopped up and used in a salad, or served warm again on toasty and crusty bread for a po’boy-type sandwich, you will find that this simple dish is versatile and crave-able!

Great as an appetizer, a main dish, or a light warm weather snack, these BBQ Grilled Shrimp will be the thing of your seafood dreams.
