Sea Island Charbroiled Shrimp

This is a family favorite and has been for years.  The recipe below is for one person, as it comes from the restaurant and three skewers are what they serve their patrons.  For all you gas grill aficionados, this recipe won't taste the same as the secret is the charcoal goodness.  You can try using smoking chips while grilling on a gas grill...but it won't be exactly the same.  Also, I am heavy handed on the Lemon Pepper and Seasoned Salt as that is how the restaurant does it.

 Lemon Pepper Shrimp at Sea Island in San Antonio, Texas!  Delicious!



Ingredients:
  • 15 medium shrimp

  • Lemon pepper, to taste

6.     Combine vegetable oil and melted butter in flat bowl.
7.     Put one skewer on bread crumbs, pressing lightly, then turn over and press crumbs on other side.

9.     Repeat with remaining skewers.
10.   Rub grill rack with oil-soaked paper towel to prevent sticking.
