Barbecued Shrimp Scampi Recipes

Steps:

• Put the shrimp in a large baking dish.
• Combine the canola oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and fennel seed in a small food processor and process until the garlic is somewhat paste-like. Pour this mixture over the shrimp and let them marinate for 30 minutes.
• Light a grill to high heat.
• Strain the shrimp from the marinade and season them with salt and black pepper, to taste. Grill the shrimp on both sides until they are slightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side (see Cook's Note). Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan set over the grates of the grill. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, tarragon and thyme leaves and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, tossing once, about 1 minute. Finish with the parsley and adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with thyme and parsley.

Steps:

• In a large, non-reactive bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, and black pepper. Season with crushed red pepper, if desired. Add shrimp, and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tbsp butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp, onion, and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes. The shrimp will start to plump up a bit.
• Add the wine, lemon zest and juice, and 4 tbsp more butter. Reduce heat and gently saute the shrimp until the sauce thickens. If sauce is too thin add 1-2 tablespoons more butter.
• Add the tomatoes and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the barbecue sauce and toss well. To serve, remove shrimp from the pan and place on plates. Drizzle sauce over shrimp.

Steps:
