1 pound extra-large shrimp (26 to 30/pound), peeled, tails on if desired, deveined
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon lime zest

Strip thyme leaves from sprigs; coarsely chop. Stir 1 teaspoon chopped thyme and remaining 1/2 teaspoon orange zest into butter.
Spread citrus-thyme butter over shrimp and serve with orange wedges. Garnish with remaining thyme.
