Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In non-reactive bowl (plastic or glass), combine all ingredients except for shrimp.

  2. Step 2

    In heavy, resealable plastic bag, place marinade and shrimp, turning bag over a few times and refrigerate about 1 to 2 hours.

  3. Step 3

    Remove shrimp, discard marinade and skewer.

  4. Step 4

    Place on hot grill and barbecue for 5 to 6 minutes, turning over, or until they are opaque and tender.

Tips

  • Use the freshest chili powder as possible as its aroma decreases with age. Shrimp may be grilled under a broiler instead of on the barbecue
