Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 21 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 0.25 Cups olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) garlic, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) shallots, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh chives, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground, to taste
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) paprika
• 2 Pounds (lb) large shrimp, peeled

Steps

1. Preheat your grill to high heat to ensure a quick and even cooking process.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, minced shallots, minced chives, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined to form a flavorful marinade.
3. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl, tossing them gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the shrimp on the grill as close to the flame as possible. Grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn opaque and are cooked through.
5. Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining chive butter sauce over the shrimp for added flavor.
6. Serve immediately as an appetizer or over a bed of pasta for a main course, garnished with additional fresh chives if desired. Enjoy your gourmet Garlicky Herb-Infused Grilled Shrimp Scampi!
