LEMON GARLIC BUTTER
- 90g / 6 tbsp butter , unsalted
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tsp garlic , very finely chopped (do not use mincer, Note 1)
- 5 tbsp lemon juice , plus more to taste
SHRIMP/PRAWNS
- 500g/ 1 lb large shrimp / prawns , raw, peeled and deveined (Note 2)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (plain or sweet ok too)

SERVING (OPTIONAL):
- 1 lemon , halved, grilled if desired
- Lemon wedges or slices

Instructions:
- Brush BBQ grills with oil, then preheat on high until very hot.
- If shrimp are small and might fall through grills, skewer them (use 2 skewers)
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
- Add garlic and salt. Stir until garlic is LIGHT golden brown, then immediately remove from stove (residual heat will make garlic golden & crispy).
- Stir through lemon.
- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels (to ensure crispiness!)
- Just prior to cooking, place in bowl, sprinkle/drizzle over remaining ingredients. Toss gently to coat.
- Working quickly, place shrimp on BBQ and cook each side for 2 minutes until golden and crusty.
- Immediately remove shrimp onto serving plate.
- Drizzle over all the Lemon Garlic Butter, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with fresh lemon.
- Crusty bread to mop up the crazy delish butter on the plate is essential!
