~from Savoring Time in the Kitchen
2lbs. shrimp raw, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/3 cup tequila
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
Dash of Tabasco
½ tsp red pepper flakes or to taste
Marinate shrimp in zipper bag overnight with marinade ingredients. Thread on skewers so that both the head and tail are skewered. That way the shrimp will not flip while grilling. You can also skewer them first and then marinate them using a 9x13 pan. Turn every few hours.
If desired, you may save the marinade and simmer in a saucepan for at least 10 minutes t o make a sauce for the shrimp.
Prepare the grill to medium high heat. Grill shrimp skewers 2-4 minutes on each side until done to your liking.
