Grilled Garlic Shrimp Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 pound 16-20 count large prawns, peeled and deveined
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon minced chives for garnish

Directions

1. Set up your grill for direct cooking over high heat, leaving one section cool with no coals or flame underneath.
2. As the grill warms, slide the pre-soaked skewers through the shrimp. Begin at the tail, then guide each skewer through the center and out near the end of the shrimp. Brush the shrimp with olive oil, then season them with salt.
3. Put the butter and garlic into a microwave-safe bowl, then microwave until the butter is melted and hot. If a microwave is not handy, melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan on the stovetop instead.
4. Place the skewers on the grill with the shrimp sitting over the coals or flame, and the uncovered bamboo skewer ends resting over the cool side. Cook them for about 2 minutes on each side.
5. Once the shrimp are cooked, lift them off the grill and transfer them to a serving dish. Brush them generously with the melted butter and garlic, then scatter chives over the top. Serve immediately.
