Ingredients
- For the Barbecue Sauce:
- 1 stick butter
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 3 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- For the Shrimp:
- 2 pounds large shrimp (16/20 per pound) peeled and deveined, tails left on
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1
While the fire heats up, combine [the ingredients for the Barbecue Sauce] in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted and the ingredients are well blended, then set aside.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 6 per skewer. Drizzle the shrimp with the olive oil and sprinkle them generously with the salt and pepper, then place them on the grill directly over the coals and cook until slightly charred and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. To check for doneness, cut into one of the shrimp at its thickest point and peek inside to be sure it is opaque throughout.
When the shrimp come off the grill, slide them off the skewers into a large bowl. Add the barbecue sauce and toss vigorously to coat.
