Tips for Cowboy Butter Shrimp on the Griddle

• Use freshly grated garlic for bold flavor in the butter.

• Cowboy butter also works great with grilled steak or corn.

Why Karbon Steel?

The Karbon Steel Griddle Accessory is perfect for Cowboy Butter Shrimp because it provides even heat distribution for fast, consistent searing while keeping the shrimp from falling through grill grates. Its flat surface allows the cowboy butter to pool and reduce around the shrimp, infusing maximum flavor without flare-ups or loss. You also get better caramelization and crust thanks to full contact with the hot surface, and it’s ideal for basting throughout the cook. Cleanup is easier too, making it the go-to setup for buttery, garlicky, griddle-seared shrimp on your Kamado Joe.
