Sweet and Spicy Shrimp

Hey Everybody!

Tonight we made sweet and spicy shrimp. This meal is super easy and tastes great! It only takes 20 min to make! We got this huge bag of shrimp from Costco (we really love that place) and I couldn't figure out what to do with it until the other day when I stumbled across this recipe from Everyday Food Magazine. If you don't have a subscription I highly recommend it. You get an array of recipes for the month and they usually shop on a budget, and you get nutritional values for each meal.

Sweet and Spicy Shrimp:

Things you'll need:

vegetable or olive oil for the grill

2 tbsp spicy chili sauce, such as Sriracha

1/3 cup honey

2 lbs extra jumbo shrimp (about 32 total), peeled and deveined (tails left on)

salt and pepper

Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Stir together chili sauce and honey. Assemble kebabs (using two skewers for each threading, one through the head and the other through the tail end); season with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp until they begin to turn opaque (no longer see through), about 2 - 3 min. Flip, brush liberally with glaze, and cook until opaque throughout, 3 - 4 more minutes. Brush with more glaze and serve.

These turned out really good, with just the right balance of spicy and sweet (as the name would suggest). We served it with stir fry veggies and pasta (we couldn't find lo mein noodles). These would have also been excellent jasmine rice and vegetables, so try whatever you think you would like.
