MEXICALI SHRIMP KEBABS

I got this recipe from my friend Wayne who loves spicy food after eating it at his house. Knowing his love of heat I greatly reduce the chili sauce when I made it the first time but was surprised how much spicier mine was than his. It turns out I was supposed to use the chili sauce you find on the shelf near the ketchup not the Thai Garlic Chili sauce I had on hand!! Time doesn't include marinating the shrimp

SHRIMP SAUTE MEXICALI

This dish as printed is not overly spicy. You can up the heat by adding more cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper. I have not made this yet but wanted to be sure to save. The original comes from the Taos Recipe cookbook. Time does not include time to cook rice.
