Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

1/2 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground peppercorns--hot or mild mixture
1 tsp olive oil with dash of red pepper flakes added
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 lb raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

In small saucepan, combine butter, garlic, peppercorns, and oil with red pepper. Simmer over low heat until butter is melted and just garlic begins to sizzle. Remove from heat, stir in fresh parsley.

Thread shrimp on four or five skewers. Brush with olive oil. Place shrimp in center of cooking grate. Grill 4 to 5 minutes until pink, and no longer white. Turn once during grilling. Remove shrimp from skewers, toss with butter mixture. Serve hot.

Makes 4 servings.

NOTES: If you have a grill pan with holes in it you can toss shrimp in there instead of using skewers. You may have to grill half at a time. Serve as an appetizer, or on top of pasta.
