 Grilled Shrimp with Butter Sauce

This grilled shrimp with butter sauce recipe is simple and full of flavor, perfect for impressing at the table. Serve with a touch of lemon and fresh cilantro for an irresistible appetizer or a light main course.

Ingredients

4 jumbo shrimp

2 tbsp salted butter

50 ml olive oil

2 cloves minced garlic

1 chopped chili pepper

1 pinch salt

1 pinch lemon juice

1 pinch cilantro

Preparation

Start by preparing the sauce: in a saucepan, combine the butter, 40 ml of olive oil, the garlic, and the chili pepper.

Bring to a boil and set aside.

With scissors, make a cut along the shrimp, from head to tail.

Finish the cut with a knife, opening the shrimp in half lengthwise, without separating the halves.

Remove the vein (intestinal vein).

Season the shrimp with salt and brush with the remaining olive oil.

Heat a grill pan well and, when hot, grill the shrimp shell-side down for about 2 minutes.

Generously brush the shrimp with the sauce and cook for another 4 minutes over medium heat, until the flesh is opaque and cooked through.

Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh cilantro.
