Pour butter mixture over the shrimp. Marinate the shrimp in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Add the lemon juice to the bowl, and stir the shrimp.
Skewer the shrimp 5-6 to a skewer. (Note: I use metal skewers so that I don't have to go to the hassle of soaking wooden ones.). Keep remaining butter/lemon mixture for brushing.
Grill the skewers 2-3 minutes per side, Brush lemon/butter mixture over shrimp while it's on the grill.
