Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
Instructions
- Put 8-10 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. This will prevent the skewers from catching on fire. You can also use metal skewers.
- Add the shrimp to a gallon size zip bag.
- Combine together the olive oil, chili sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and ground red pepper. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade to baste the shrimp.
- Pour the mixture into the zip lock bag over the shrimp. Put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-hight heat (350° to 400° F).
- Using all of the wooden skewers, skewer the shrimp, discarding the marinade.
- Grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on one side, baste, then flip over. Baste the other side, cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Notes
- The ground red pepper really adds an extra kick of spice. If you like it less spicy, cut the amount in half or omit it completely.
- If you can't find the chili sauce with garlic, I recommend adding an extra clove or two.
- Peeled and de-veined shrimp is the best way to go, in my opinion. Yes, it costs more, but the amount of time you save is SO worth it. If you really want to peel the shrimp yourself try out these step by step instructions to help you along the way.
- Barbecued shrimp will last in the refrigerator for 2 days in an airtight container.
