Grilled Shrimp Packets with Basil, Garlic and Red Curry Compound Butter

One of the oldie but goodies I like to prepare as a side dish when we entertain is Grilled Shrimp Packets. Dot some shrimp with herbed compound butter in a foil packet, throw it on a grill, and in about ten minutes, you have an instant crowd pleaser. It works so well as a side or an appetizer, but it can also be a great main course. Serve it with a hunk of good, crusty bread, and it is the ideal midweek meal. You can, of course, customize compound butter in so many different ways; this version echoes Thai flavors. The shrimp soaks up the rich basil and curry flavors as it steams in its foil packet, emitting juices just right for bread dipping. For some extra kick, it is hard to resist spiking each bite with a dot of Sriracha Sauce. - kitchen confidante
