In a small nonreactive bowl, whisk together the light rum, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and ground cumin.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to cook.

Preheat the oven broiler.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and combine with the olive oil.

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a shallow ovenproof dish or individual ramekins.

Spoon the warm garlic butter sauce evenly over the shrimp.

Sprinkle the cracker meal or fine bread crumbs evenly over the top of each shrimp.
