What makes this shrimp truly special is the meticulous attention to detail in the preparation. The shells are left partially intact to ensure moisture retention, resulting in perfectly juicy shrimp with a rich flavor that’s enhanced by a buttery, spiced sauce. The marinade, infused with fresh garlic, olive oil, and zesty lemon juice, works to tenderize the shrimp while imparting a delightful aroma that’s hard to resist.

With an easy-to-follow cooking process that can be completed in just 40 minutes, you’ll have a dish that not only looks stunning but tastes heavenly. Whether grilled or broiled, the combination of black pepper, chili powder, and Worcestershire sauce brings a depth of flavor that complements the sweetness of the shrimp. Serve alongside a crusty baguette and lemon wedges to soak up every drop of the savory butter sauce, and you’ve got a meal that’s both satisfying and impressive.

Ingredients

  • teaspoons pepper black
  • teaspoons chili powder 
  • medium garlic clove minced
  • tablespoon juice of lemon fresh
  • servings lemon wedges 
  • tablespoons olive oil 
  • 0.8 teaspoon salt 
  • 1.5 lb shrimp per lb)
  • tablespoons butter unsalted
  • teaspoons worcestershire sauce 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • grill
  • skewers
  • kitchen scissors
  • broiler pan

Directions

  1. Snip shells of shrimp with scissors down middle of back, leaving tail and first segment of shell intact. Make an incision along length of back where shells are cut and devein, leaving shells in place. (Shells will prevent shrimp from becoming tough on outside when grilled.) Toss shrimp with oil, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and marinate at cool room temperature 15 minutes.
  2. While shrimp marinate, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
  3. Heat butter, chili powder, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until butter is melted, then remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
  4. Thread 4 or 5 shrimp onto each skewer and grill, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Push shrimp off skewers into a bowl, then pour butter mixture over them and toss to combine well.
  5. ·Shrimp can be broiled on a broiler pan 6 inches from heat, turning over once, about 6 minutes total.
