Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp (shelled and deveined)

2 lemons (cut into wedges)

Steps:

Grill the shrimp over indirect heat, turning several times, until just opaque, about 6 minutes. For an extra spike of flavor, brush the skewers with fresh piri-piri sauce just before serving.

I received this recipe nearly 40 years ago from a co-worker who was raised in Portugal. She made this Portuguese shrimp dish for an office potluck and everyone wanted the recipe! It is easy to make, impressive to serve, and delicious. The sauce is also good served on fish fillets. -Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York
