Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 36 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined (about 2 pounds)

Steps

  1. Make the marinade by whisking the first 8 ingredients together in a small bowl.
  2. Thread 6 shrimp onto each of six 10- to 12-inch-long metal skewers and lay in a 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon over all but 1/4 cup marinade and turn to coat. Cover and chill both the shrimp and reserved 1/4 cup marinade for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  3. Prepare the barbecue for medium-high heat. Grill with some marinade still clinging to the shrimp for about 2 1/2 minutes per side, until just opaque in the center. Put the skewers on a platter, spoon the reserved 1/4 cup marinade over them and serve.
