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

OAXACAN GRILLED SHRIMP

We watched these being cooked right by our table while in Huatulco. The smell when the marinade was brushed on the jumbo shrimp while on the grill filled the air - so good! This is our version. Enjoy! **Preparation time includes 30 minute marinading time (****edit June 25/07 - it was suggested that lime juice would be good instead of lemon juice so I tried it out and I prefer it that way. Thank you for that!) ***NOTE : ) Aug. 7/10 - discovered an even better way to enjoy this recipe! Ran out of skewers so just threw the prawns with all the marinade into a foil pan and threw that on the bbq stirring and turning for about 5 to 7 minutes (depending on size of your prawns). They turned out wonderfully moist and tasty and the resulting sauce was fabulous to dip a crusty bread onto. The sauce is also very tasty ladled on top of linguine. So fast and easy. Cuts the prep time down to basically nothing.
