1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. (16-20 count), cleaned, peeled and deveined shrimp

Recipe
For Barbecue Butter: Soften butter at room temperature to 70-80 degrees.
Place butter in mixing bowl; add pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, rosemary, garlic, Worcestershire, Tabasco, and water.
Whip on high speed 3 minutes or until thoroughly blended.
Refrigerate to 40 degrees.
The following shrimp recipe will use 1 cup of the butter; reserve extra for another use.
For Shrimp:
Pour olive oil in a hot sauté pan. Add shrimp to the sauté pan and cook on one side for 1-2 minutes.
(Don't crowd; if necessary, use 2 pans. A 12-inch pan will accommodate 1 pound of shrimp.)
Reduce heat to medium, turn shrimp, and add the chopped green onion.
Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Add white wine and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup.
Stir in 1 cup cold Barbecue Butter, reduce heat to low and cook and stir frequently until shrimp are just done (white throughout, moist and tender), approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Take care not to overcook the shrimp.
Serve immediately in a bowl preheated to 160 degrees.
