Tender shrimp skewered on rosemary branches and cooked in rosemary infused brown butter. You have to try this brown butter rosemary shrimp skewers recipe!

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6-8 stems of fresh rosemary, about 6-8 inches long
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 stick salted butter, 4 ounces

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing one stick of butter into a large skillet. I used a 12 inch non-stick - remember this will be the same pan you cook your shrimp skewers in so make sure it will allow for the size of your rosemary branches.
  2. Cook the butter over medium high heat, stirring frequently. The butter will foam and make quite a bit of noise. Keep an eye on it and once you see the butter solids become a nice golden brown/caramel color remove it from the heat and add your chopped rosemary. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Strip the leaves from the bottom 3/4 of each rosemary branch and thread several shrimp onto each branch. Drizzle the shrimp generously with a few spoonfuls of brown butter.
  4. In the same pan you browned your butter, preheat pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of brown butter, and cook the shrimp skewers for about 2 minutes per side until just cooked. 
  5. Remove to a platter and serve with remaining brown butter for drizzling and dipping. 

Notes

This would be excellent with scallops

You can make these smaller or even individual. You'll need a lot more rosemary branches. Just use much shorter rosemary branches and thread one or two shrimp per branch for a super cute hors d'oeuvre.
