Time 1h16m

Yield 6 kabobs, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup light olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup tequila (or use lemon and orange juice instead)
1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
24 large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (leaving the tails intact)
6 metal skewers (or use *Bamboo Skewers)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except shrimp in shallow glass dish; stir in shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Remove shrimp from marinade and reserve it.
  • Thread 4 shrimp on each of six metal skewers. (*If using bamboo skewers, remember to soak them in hot water for about 30 minutes, so won't burn.)

  • Heat reserved marinade to boiling in a non-aluminium saucepan; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until bell pepper is tender, about 5 minutes. Serve with shrimp.
  • NOTE: to broil the kabobs in the oven: set oven control to boil.
  • Place skewered shrimp on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops about 4 inches from heat, turning once until pink, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Categories     Seafood

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4-5 lb medium to large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/8 c red tabasco sauce
1/8 c green tabasco sauce
1/8 c red chili sauce
2 c olive oil
1/4 c lemon juice, fresh or concentrate
6 leaves basil, preferrably fresh chopped finely or 1 teaspoon dried basil can be substituted
4 clove minced garlic, or 2 tsp. preminced garlic from a jar
1 tsp coarse black pepper
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp oregano, dried
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 lb thin sliced bacon, cut stips in 1/2 to form two short strips.
METAL SKEWERS WORK BEST, BUT SHRIMP CAN BE COOKED ON FOIL OVER FLAME WITHOUT SKEWERS.
1 box round toothpicks

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse, peel and devein all of the shrimp and set aside. Cut bacon into half slices and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • 2. Mix all remaining ingredients in a very large bowl. BEFORE ADDING SHRIMP, remove 1/2 cup marinade to be used to baste shrimp while grilling.
  • 3. Add shrimp to marinade and toss until all of the shrimp is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour but not longer than 3 hours. Any longer may result in your shrimp becoming rubbery!
  • 4. If using a charcoal grill, make sure your charcoal is completely ash grey before placing shrimp on the grill. If using a propane grill, set your grill to 350 degrees or a medium heat setting.
  • 5. Lay out a (heavy duty) foil covered cookie sheet. Place your bacon and toothpicks next to your cookie sheet. When shrimp has marinated for at least one hour, remove the shrimp one at a time from the marinade and wrap with 1 of the 1/2 slices of bacon and secure by inserting a toothpick through the center. Continue until all of the shrimp is wrapped. DISCARD LEFTOVER MARINADE!!!
  • 6. If using metal skewers, run the skewer through the tail end and the head end of each shrimp to secure firmly while grilling. If NOT using skewers, simply slide the foil with the shrimp on it off the cookie sheet onto the grill surface.
  • 7. Cook your shrimp for 10 min., basting once with reserved marinade, turn the shrimp and continue cooking for additional 5 to 7 minutes or until shrimp is white in color and bacon is crisp.
  • 8. Remove shrimp from grill, serve immediately! The shrimp may be kept warm for up to 30 min. or so in a 200 degree oven when TIGHTLY wrapped in heavy duty foil.
  • 9. Shrimp may be served alone as an appetizer or on a bed of rice pilaf as a side to grilled steaks for a main dish! Store leftover shrimp for up to 2 days in a tightly sealed container. Reheat in microwave at 20 sec. intervals until desired tempature or in a heavy skillet over medium heat. ENJOY!!
