Ingredients:  
12 Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 C canola oil
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
10 Garlic cloves
1 tsp ground fennel seed
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Directions:
Place shrimp in a large baking dish.

Combine the canola oil garlic, red pepper flakes and fennel seed in a small food processor and process until the garlic is somewhat paste-like. Pour this mixture over the shrimp and let them marinate for 30 miutes.

Light a grill to high heat.

Strain the shrimp from the marinade and season them with salt and pepper, to taste.

Grill the shrimp on both sides until they are slightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. (they can be slightly undercooked, due to the fact that they will be cooking in the butter sauce). Transfer shrimp to a plate.

Melt the butter in a large saute pan set over the grates of the grill. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, tarragon and thyme leaves and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, tossing once, about 1 minute.
Finish with the parsley and adjust seasonings as needed. Transfer shrimp to serving platter and garnish with thyme and parsley.
