Spicy Cilantro Garlic Shrimp

Ingredients:

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)

Instructions:

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.

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.

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. Yields up to 4 servings as an appetizer.

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