Ingredients:

• Marinade:
• 1/2 stick of butter (1/4 cup)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 Tbsp chili oil (Pele's fire is our favorite) or 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
• 2 pinches of saffron
• 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1 Tbsp crushed garlic
• Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 Tbsp)
• 1 1/2 pounds of large/jumbo shrimp (white tiger shrimp is so delicious), peeled and de-veined

Method

Melt butter and add the rest of the ingredients. Marinate shrimp in some of this mixture in refrigerator up to 2 hours. Drain off marinade; thread shrimp onto skewers and grill until shrimp turns pink and is done. Use remaining mixture to brush shrimp as it cooks on the grill.

Number of servings: 6-8
