Prepare the shrimp: Take the large, raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on) and butterfly-cut each shrimp along its back. This helps them cook evenly and absorb more flavor.

Season the shrimp: Drizzle the hot sauce or orange marinade over the butterflied shrimp. Using gloved hands, spread the sauce evenly over all the shrimp. Generously sprinkle the dry seasoning blend over the sauced shrimp, ensuring they are well coated.

Grill the shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) over charcoal. Place the seasoned, butterflied shrimp directly onto the hot grill grate. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once, until they are cooked through, turn pink/orange, and have developed some char marks.

Remove shrimp and prepare butter: Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the grill and set them aside in a separate bowl. Place a black cast iron pan onto the grill grate over the hot coals. Add the 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter to the hot pan and allow it to melt completely, sizzling.

Make the cowboy butter: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter in the pan. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped fresh parsley to the butter and garlic mixture and stir to combine. Pour the additional 1/4 cup of melted butter or olive oil into the pan.

Combine and serve: Add the previously grilled shrimp into the pan with the bubbling cowboy butter sauce. Stir the shrimp thoroughly in the pan using a wooden spoon to ensure they are fully coated in the butter sauce. Serve the shrimp directly from the pan.
