Melt the butter and grill the shrimp. Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet on your hot grill. Add the butter to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. While the butter melts, place the shrimp directly on the grill grates.

Finish cooking shrimp. Once your butter is bubbling, add your garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes. While the garlic cooks, flip the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are a "C" shape, opaque throughout, and read an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
