1/4 cup melted butter

3 Tbps brown mustard
1/2 cup well crushed fresh basil
3 cloves crushed garlic

DIRECTIONS
Use a shallow glass dish or bowl to mix together olive oil and melted butter. Add in lemon juice, mustard, basil and garlic. Stir well. Season mix with salt and white pepper. Then add shrimp. Toss shrimp well so that all are coated with the marinade mixture.
After grill is preheated to high heat, take shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers. Toss out remaining marinade.
Lightly brush grill grate with cooking oil. Arrange skewers on grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn shrimp once. Make sure both sides are well-cooked.
Makes 8 servings. Be sure to calculate enough shrimp and marinade mix to accommodate all your guests!
