Shrimp butter is incredibly easy to make and can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on bread, crackers, or vegetables, or used as a dipping sauce for shrimp, fish, or chicken.

GARLIC BUTTER SMOKED SHRIMP



Garlic Butter Smoked Shrimp image

One of the quickest meals you can make in your smoker is shrimp, done in just 30 minutes. These shrimp are lightly seasoned to let the smoke flavor shine, but add more seasoning if desired. Because of the short smoke time, feel free to use a stronger-flavored wood such as hickory or mesquite. Serve with cheesy grits, rice, atop a salad, or as an appetizer with a remoulade sauce.

GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Grilled Jumbo Shrimp With Garlic-Herb Butter image

A very simple recipe with just enough seasoning to enhance the flavor of the grilled shrimp without overpowering it. The best way to eat the shrimp is to peel them at the table and dip in extra butter sauce left over from the recipe. I have prepared the recipe with and without the rum - I do not find the rum to add anything special.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
  • Cook shrimp properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery.
  • Use high-quality butter: Butter is a key ingredient in shrimp butter, so it's important to use a high-quality butter that has a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Add aromatics: Aromatics such as garlic, shallots, and herbs add flavor to shrimp butter. Experiment with different combinations of aromatics to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Use shrimp butter immediately: Shrimp butter is best used immediately after it's made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Shrimp butter is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for adding flavor to seafood, vegetables, and pasta. It can also be used as a spread for bread or crackers. With its rich, creamy flavor and versatility, shrimp butter is a must-have for any home cook.
