Me So Hungry: Dub Shack BBQ Presents BBQ Shrimp

To maximize my precious time, I will sometimes do multiple cooks, and for those occasions, there had better be a snack that will make your guest scream the pitmaster's name. This BBQ shrimp happens to be one of those, and in ten minutes' time, they will be ready sooner than your date when you pick her up for dinner.

INGREDIENTS 
One pound of shrimp, preferably deveined
Avocado oil 
One stick of butter, sliced into tablespoons 
Minced garlic
Razorracks BBQ's All Day all-purpose rub
A few teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
STEP ONE. If frozen, thaw the shrimp per package instructions. Otherwise, clean them up by deveining and/or peeling shrimp. Season the shrimp on all sides with All Day and set aside.
STEP TWO. Since my Weber kettle and cast-iron skillet got the assignment, light the grill up for a two-zone fire at 350 degrees. Because shrimp cooks so quickly, do not worry about adding a smoke flavor to those crustaceans; save the pecan wood for next time around. Add avocado oil to the skillet and place it directly above the coals, and then add the butter, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce to play together before the shrimp joins the party. Turn after five minutes to even doneness on both sides, and pull at 145 degrees or just before they curl into tight circles. Another way to know - and particularly with a larger size - is paying attention to the shrimp's shape: You want them to look like the letter C for no one is interested in overcooked seafood.
STEP THREE. Remove from the grill, let the skillet cool down a few minutes, and devour!
Hope you have a baguette to sop up the butter mixture. 

Like the classic smoked shrimp recipe, this won't last long. I usually keep shrimp on deck meaning that if I run out, it's just a quick trip outside to cook up another batch. As always, thank you for reading and sharing this post among friends, family, neighbors, and anyone looking to score a bite. I do appreciate the eyes and views T4E brings, and they alone are the encouragement to keep coming up with all of the awesome ways to eat barbecue. Y'all be safe, be blessed, be good to each other, and tell everyone that every day is a GREAT day for Dub Shack BBQ!
