Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. soy sauce
  • 1/2 c. lime juice
  • 4 cloves chopped garlic
  • red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 c. oil
  • salt & pepper
  • 3 chopped scallions
  • 1/2 c. chopped parsley or cilantro
  • 1 T. sugar
  • ~3 dozen 30/40 count raw shrimp, peeled with tails on
  • 5 or 6 inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water

Method

  • Thaw shrimp if frozen and let drain.
  • Mix all marinade ingredients in a a medium bowl, add shrimp and let sit for a half hour or more. Mix a few times.
  • Thread shrimp on to skewers, alll facing the same way for even cooking, leaving up to an inch at each end. About 4 shrimp per 5 or 6 inch skewer works well. (Longer skewers are fine but need more careful grilling to cook evenly). Grill over hot fire 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Optional: sprinkle with lime juice, garlic and oil mixture after grilling.
