    Shrimp to die for [p]

    [p]Posted by KennyG on July 15, 1998 at 06:26:09:[p]Greetings gang,[p]Let's take a break from all the gas grill comparos
    and talk food. How about some appetizers? Grilled
    shrimp?[p]If you liked my boneless/skinless smoked chicken
    breast recipe or my wings to die for, just wait
    until you try this one. Been working on this
    simple recipe for a long time until I recently
    stumbled across some great commercial sauces. No
    more spice blending for me thanks to Mrs. Dogs.
    This is too good not to share![p]Guesstimate how much of the following marinade,
    in these approximate proportions, you will need
    for the number of skewers of shelled and deveined
    shrimp you care to grill. If you're lucky enough
    to be able to consistantly obtain fresh, good
    quality 21-25 ct. or better, I envy you![p]1/2 cup Wishbone "Robusto" italian salad dressing
    1 heaping tablespoon honey
    1 heaping tablespoon Jamaican jerk sauce - best
    with Mrs. Dogs. Have also tried Grand Anse
    and Busha Browne's
    1 dash worcestershire
    1 pinch fresh ground black pepper (tellicherry) [p]Stir thoroughly with a wire wisk to completely
    dissolve the honey. "Paint" the mixture on both
    sides of the shrimp skewers with a basting brush
    30-60 minutes before cooking.[p]Crank up the HIGHEST heat you can muster with your
    gas or charcoal grill (use lump if you've got) and
    if you are into smoking chips, I suggest guava and
    mesquite. 2 minutes or less per side will do it
    (relative to 21-25 ct. size) and the honey will
    carmelize quickly for a crispy outside. As a
    precaution against overcooking, go straight from
    the fridge to the grill.[p]I had guests fighting over these at a recent party.
    They will also have a nice little pepper bite
    to them. [p]K~G[p]

    Drivr,
    Soak bamboo skewers in water for about 20 minutes, peel the shrimp, use enough olive oil to just coat however many shrimp you are cooking, chili powder, old bay, everglades seasoning, (or whatever you have around), hot chili oil to taste, let them sit in the fridge in a bowl while the skerwers soak, pierce through tail and "head" (so they don't spin on the skewer), cook 2-3 minutes per side over medium heat till pink. Have plenty, people will eat these instead of the main course.
