Spicy Grilled Shrimp Recipe
Ingredients
2 pounds medium-sized shrimp
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
1 teaspoon each salt and basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint
3/4 cup salad oil
Directions
Wash, shell, and devein the shrimp (or use about 1 1/2 pounds frozen deveined large shrimp€”they need not be thawed).
In a bowl or glass jar, blend the chile powder with the vinegar, pepper, garlic, salt, basil, and mint.
Stir in the oil and shake or mix until well blended.
Pour over the shrimp, cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or overnight.
Thread the shrimp on skewers and grill over charcoal for 6 to 10 minutes (depending on size), turning once and basting liberally with the marinade. (Or arrange unskewered shrimp on a broiler rack and broil in the oven, turning once and basting well.)
