Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime zested
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
For cocktail sauce
- ⅔ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- a few drops of your favorite hot sauce optional
- Special equipment: 10" metal or wooden skewers
Instructions
- Place shrimp in a medium bowl. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, lime zest and pepper. Toss to coat completely and set for 15-20 minutes to marinate.
- Meanwhile prepare cocktail sauce. In a small bowl combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and hot sauce (if desired). Stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Heat grill to medium high heat -- about 400 degrees. Skewer the shrimp through the head end first then through the tail section. Having two entry points will hold the shrimp steady on the skewer. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and firm.
- Serve shrimp alongside cocktail sauce.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for an hour before threading the shrimp onto them. This will prevent the skewers from catching fire on the grill.
