Spicy Grilled Shrimp
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
- Make the marinade by whisking the first 8 ingredients together in a small bowl.
- 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.
- 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.
