Here is one i like sometimes. Little Cajun!Appetizer, Shrimp, Wings, Richard FlYeh it has been raining here on the East coast of Florida most of the day, No hail. Happy to hear our fellow eggers are safe. ************Was in a mood for some shrimp so started up my wok cooker, A Tao, but BGE and a wok or cast iron pan will do just as well:1. Lava Hot:2. Took a stick of butter, handful of fresh sweet basil, and 2 large tablespoons of a cajun seasoning, Old Bay or whatever you like for a crab/shrimp boil.3. Tossed in 1 1/2 pounds shrimp with shells on:4. And cooked for 3-5 minutes until just pink.5. Now I still had most of the butter and seasoning left, so took dozen wings, added 1/2 stick more butter, 1/4 cup soy seasoning and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce several drops of a thai hot sauce and cooked the wings for 15-18 minutes:6. A great flavor sensation:7. Just a snack for this evening.Recipe Type: Appetizer, Poultry, SeafoodSourceSource: BGE Forum, Richard Fl, 2012/06/07**

My wife hates cilantro, so Green Lightning is out for me. Here's one we really love, mostly Sriracha. I think I only altered it in cooking hotter than she did.
Fiery Asian Shrimp
1 lb. large (16-20 count) Shrimp peeled & deveined
3 Tbls. hot Chili Sauce (Sriracha hot sauce preferred)
3 Tbls. Olive Oil
2 teaspoons Asian roasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
2 teaspoons Sugar
4-5 cloves Garlic finely chopped
Garnish:
3 Tbls. Green Onions chopped
Lime wedges
Skewers
Combine chili sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, sea salt, sugar and garlic in a large ziplock bag. Mix together well. Add shrimp and let marinate for 30 minutes to an hour (original recipe said up to 2 hours, but I think they got a bit mushy after around 2h).
Skewer shrimp and grill on BGE direct at 500° or so for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are done. Do not overcook. (Recipe originally said 350-375° for the same amount of time, but there was no charring at all at around 400. I liked them better cooked at 500 or more.)
DO NOT FORGET: Plate and sprinkle green onions over shrimp and squeeze lime on shrimp and serve. (Definitely do this: the lime flavor was really good in this dish, and I think it would have been less wonderful without it.)
Notes: Marinating pineapple chunks also (with just Sriracha), and alternating them with shrimp on skewers, was really good. I could imagine peppers would be a good addition, too.

Try it, and if she doesn't like it you get lots left for yourself. This dish has never actually resulted in leftovers at my house.

Maybe sometime I could try two different recipes at once, I guess, but I'm even worried that "cilantro cooties" from grilling in the same BGE might ruin the non-cilantro dish for her. She really hates cilantro! -

This is not a marinade, it supposed to be a glaze.
It has Chipotle peppers and Tamarind paste.
It is really good for Mexican grilled shrimp.

- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons rum
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
- Peel shrimp, leaving tails on,devein and thread 4 shrimp on each skewer.
- Cook brown sugar in a small saucepan over low heat, add garlic & next 6 ingredients, cook 5 minute or until tamarind paste melts.
- Brush shrimp with olive oil , grill (with lid up) over med. high heat (350-400) for 4-6 min or until shrimp turn pink, turning once & basting often with tamarind glaze.
It originally came from Southern Living magazine and I really like it.

I followed an additional link, and found the original recipe and instructions on Oprah.com, and it said to sprinkle the basil over the shrimp before serving, so that answers the question. -
I went with the suggestion by @blind99 and it turned out great! I will give Green Lightning a shot next time.Lewiston, MN LBGE

glad to hear it worked out!
I do them this way shell on or shell off, either way works fine, the shell just gives you a little more safety margin to avoid overcooking.
