Grilled Shrimp with Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce

I love shrimp!! Always have, always will. IT Guy...not so much. So when I grilled him a steak I decided to grill me some shrimp, too cuz I knew he wouldn't touch it! Woo-hoo!!! So delicious! This shrimp is a little bit spicy but not bad...although you could certainly increase the amount of red pepper flakes if you want more heat. It was perfect for me, though. Loved every bite!

Here's the stuff for the dipping sauce.

Combine it all in a bowl and heat it
