Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread shrimp onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
Step 3: Grill shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and grill marks appear, being careful not to overcook.
Step 4: Meanwhile, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and 1 minced garlic clove, cooking gently for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Remove shrimp from grill and brush immediately with the garlic herb butter. Serve hot with extra butter on the side.
