So my husband loves shrimp.....His favorite way to have it is Grilled and we use many different marinades.....Probably a favorite it Cilantro Lime Marinated Shrimp but we created this one with items from our pantry.....It turned out really good and we really enjoyed it. The girls even liked it.....and they can be picky eaters, but I must admit it was their first time having shrimp.....glad we will be able to eat it more often......Think grilled shrimp cocktail......
Serves: 6
4 Garlic Cloves, minced
1/3 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup Chili Sauce or Tomato sauce
2-3 T Red Wine Vinegar
2 T Fresh Basil, chopped
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
Salt & Pepper, to taste
2 lbs Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Skewers (if using bamboo be sure to soak for 20 min or more)
In a large bowl, stir together the garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce, red wine vinegar, basil, cayenne pepper. Season with a little salt and black pepper. Add shrimp to the bowl, and stir until evenly coated. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring once or twice.
Preheat grill for medium heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.
Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp on preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.
