If your shrimp came from frozen, run them under cold water to help thaw them out. (I will typically buy frozen shrimp to have on hand) Now I love ordering from Omaha Steaks! I was surprised to learn they also have seafood!! You can order shrimp and have it delivered to your door! (See the options -> here)

In a microwavable container, scoop about 4 Tablespoon of butter and 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, then salt and pepper to taste the butter to taste.
If you are using wooden skewers soak them in some water so they don’t catch fire on your grill.
Remove the skewers after a 5 minute soak.
Melt the butter combination in the microwave in 15-second intervals while stirring.
Turn a pan onto low heat and add in your shrimp and butter. (I reused a pan from making bacon and asparagus so I had a bit of bacon grease still hot in the pan for flavor)
You can watch the shrimp go from gray to orange to show that they are cooking
Next, put the shrimp onto your wooden skewers to throw on the grill!
Throw your skewers on the grill make sure to keep an eye and flip them too!!
Remove and serve when done.
HOW TO MAKE WHITE WINE ALFREDO SAUCE:
In a pan on the stovetop, over medium-low heat combine a jar of Alfredo sauce, 1/4 jar of white wine. (I poured my wine into the alfredo sauce jar and then closed it giving it a good shake to get all the Alfredo sauce out of the jar).
Season with the sauce with salt and pepper.
Allow simmering while your steak is on the grill, stir occasionally with a rubber whisk!
How to store Shrimp Skewers
Once your shrimp has cooled, you can remove it from the skewer or store it on the skewer. Store in the fridge in an air-tight container or ziploc bag for up to two days after cooking.
How to reheat Shrimp Skewers
These can be reheated in a skillet with a bit of the sauce or in the microwave as well.
