SWEET & SPICY SHRIMP KEBOBS AL FRESCO

Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

36 medium to large raw shrimp, peeled, tail on, deveined

Basting Sauce:
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp Thai paste (or substitute with red pepper flakes)
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 tbsp chopped Cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tsp grated fresh gingerroot
1 tbsp sesame oil
Salt and white pepper to taste

Preheat a greased grill to high. Take 6 shrimp and run 2 skewers through them, one on either side of shrimp, so that they will like flat and even on grill. Continue with all of shrimp until they are skewed; set aside. Combine all of basting ingredients.

Place shrimp on grill and baste immediately. Close grill cover for 1 minute. Open and baste again and flip skewers over; baste again. Watch carefully, and as shrimp are just about done (it should take only 2-3 minutes on a hot grill) close cover for 30 seconds to glaze. Be careful not to overcook. Remove shrimp from grill and serve immediately. Serves 6
