Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp onion salt
  • ¼ tsp minced garlic

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients in a saucepan over low heat, until butter melts, or for about five minutes.
  • Pour mixture over shrimp and marinate for 10-15 minutes, while you wait for your grill to heat up. Be sure to set aside enough for basting!
  • Skewer the shrimp, place them on foil or directly on the grill grate, and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Brush the excess liquid on shrimp while grilling, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

This marinade is a great baste for other foods, too! Brush on meats, seafood, or vegetables while grilling.
