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

Prepare your grill for direct high heat, with one side of the grill as a cool side with no coals or flame.

While the grill is heating, thread the pre-soaked skewers through the shrimp. Start at the tail and push the skewers through the middle and end of the shrimp. Brush shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Place butter and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until the butter has melted and is hot. (If you don't have a microwave you can also just melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan on the stovetop.

Arrange skewers on grill so that the shrimp are over the coals or flame and the exposed bamboo skewer ends are over the cool side of the grill. Grill for about 2 minutes on each side.

As soon as the shrimp are done, remove from grill and place in a serving dish. Baste generously with melted garlic butter. Sprinkle with chives to serve! Serve immediately.
