Ingredients

Shrimp

2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
wooden or metal skewers

Garlic Parmesan Butter

1 stick Unsalted Challenge Butter
5 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
black pepper, to taste
Kosher salt, to taste, if needed

Directions

1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before grilling.
2

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
3

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then thread onto skewers.
4

Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink, lightly charred, and cooked through.
5

While the shrimp grill, make the garlic parmesan butter. Melt the Challenge Unsalted Butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and mellow. Do not let the garlic brown too much.
6

Continue cooking the butter until it turns lightly golden and smells nutty, then remove from the heat.
7

Stir in the Parmesan, parsley, and black pepper. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
8

Brush or spoon the garlic parmesan butter over the hot shrimp skewers. Serve immediately with extra butter on the side.
