 Ingredients List

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Habanero pepper, minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound large shrimp, cleaned, peeled, tails on (you could leave the shells on if you prefer)

 Directions

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, minus the shrimp. Stir well to combine, taste for salt. Add in the shrimp and marinate in refrigerator for 45 minutes, no more than 1 hour.

2. Preheat grill to medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, about 325ºF. I have a charcoal grill. Remove shrimp from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.

3. Divide the shrimp, including the marinade into two foil packets, seal shut. Cook on grill with lid closed for 5 to 7 minutes, checking after 5 minutes. Remove from grill and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes: Serve with sliced baguette for soaking up broth or warm tortillas and salsa.
