Great Shrimp Recipe

Just had this for dinner at my mom's -- wonderful flavor -- and easy.

Basil Shrimp:

2 1/2 tbsps olive oil
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 juiced lemons
3 tbsps brown mustard (dijon an okay substitute)
1/2 cup fresh basil
3 garlic cloves -- minced
salt and pepper to taste

3 pounds, fresh shrimp peeled

Mix oil and butter -- stir in lemon juice, mustard, basil, garlic. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to marinade and toss. Cover, refrigerate one hour.

Skewer shrimp, discard marinade -- oil grill and grill shrimp 4 minutes until shrimp is opaque -- turning once.
