Sounds good. The ones I make are usually wrapped in thinly sliced bacon. The marinade is usually made up at the moment using anything from citrus and butter to steak sauce. Mine have to be cooked quickly over a very hot fire to crisp the bacon without overcooking the shrimp.

Its really good. |

Its really good. Oh Yeah! I learned a quick way to make garlic butter from Barbara Kafka many years ago. I expanded the garlic butter to "garlic butter and stuff" Pepper, herbs, citrus, ... you name it. I also switched the butter for olive oil in some cases for a healthier, but similar result. Garlic butter w/ jerk seasoning is versatile and exotic.
