The Ultimate Grilled Shrimp

1. 1

   Put a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill and get it very hot.

2. 2

   If you're using an outdoor grill, take a few paper towels and fold them over several times to make a thick square.

3. 3

   Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel, then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, add the butter into a food processor with the basil leaves (reserve a few for garnish), the juice of 1 of the lemons, and salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Puree.

6. 6

   Stuff about half of the butter under the shells of the shrimp (about 1/2 tablespoon per shrimp).

7. 7

   Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook for 3 minutes on each side, brushing with the remaining basil butter a few times as they cook.

8. 8

   To serve, put the shrimp on plates and dot with the remaining basil butter.

9. 9

   Squeeze the remaining lemon over the shrimp and garnish the plates with basil leaves.
