Grilled Pepper Shrimp

This looks like a good recipe from Big Daddy's Kitchen.com
(not my kitchen, some other bigdaddy)

Me and Julie love shrimp on the grill !! almost every time we have Tenderloin I throw some shrimp on too.

You can adjust this if you wanted more shrimp. (or less heat)

I'll try this and let you know if I make any adjustments.

Or if you make it before I do - let me know what you did.

Enjoy!!!

Oh - if you have noticed my writing style has changed some - Julie is my proof reader and editor now. She didn't want me to look so much like a hill billy - "Luv ya Hun"

Thanks for not letting me look too country and for checking my spelling. ( I drive spell check crazy, it don't understand country talk, only city words - I ain't got it to learn ain't yet! ) Stupid machine (G)

Grilled Pepper Shrimp


These shrimp come off the grill spicy and delicious, but not too hot. The only problem you'll ever have with these is not having enough!


1 pound large, raw shrimp (about 24 per pound)
¾ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon your favorite hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 medium lime, juiced
Bamboo Skewers (soaked in water)


Combine all ingredients, except shrimp and lime juice, into a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp and combine thoroughly.

Peel, devein and wash the shrimp leaving the tail.
Put shrimp into bowl with the marinade and toss well to coat.

Allow the shrimp to marinade at least one hour (out of the fridge) and up to four hours (keep in fridge except for the last hour).

Prepare the grill for cooking.
Just before grilling thread the shrimp onto bamboo skewers so they form a semicircle, being careful not to crowd them too much, about four to each skewer.

Grill the shrimp over a med. fire 3 or 4 mins. per side. (or longer just don't over cook)
When done, place the skewers of shrimp on a serving platter and sprinkle with the lime juice.

Serves four lightly or two to three if very hungry.
