Instructions:
- Rinse 12 oz of shrimps under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the shrimps in a bowl and add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- Add minced garlic and chopped red hot chili peppers to the bowl with shrimps. Mix well to ensure the shrimps are evenly coated with garlic and chili peppers.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
- Thread the shrimps onto skewers if using. If not, you can directly place them onto the grill.
- Grill the shrimps for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
- In a bowl, combine the softened butter, finely chopped dill, and fresh parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Remove the shrimps from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Immediately dollop the flavored butter over the hot shrimps, allowing it to melt and coat the shrimps.
- Garnish with additional dill and parsley if desired.

Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your grill to medium-high before placing the shrimps to achieve the perfect char without overcooking.
- For even more flavor, you can marinate the shrimps in the olive oil, garlic, and chili mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
- When preparing the flavored butters, allow the butter to soften at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother consistency.
- Grill the shrimps for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking, as shrimps can become rubbery if left on the grill for too long.
- Serve the shrimps immediately with a generous dollop of flavored butter on top for the best taste experience.

The combination of char-grilled shrimps and flavored butters brings a dynamic and mouth-watering flare to your meal. Enjoy your perfectly cooked shrimps with a burst of flavor in every bite!
