Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • FOR SAUCE
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped fine
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (Thai sweet chili sauce, I use Frank's Red Hot brand found right next to the hot sauce in the grocery store)
  • 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce (Sriracha, or to taste)
  • FOR SHRIMP
  • 40 large (13 ounces) fresh shrimp (shelled and deveined, weight after peeled)
  • Fresh cracked pepper
  • Oil spray
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Soak wooden skewers in water at least 20 minutes (or use metal ones to avoid this step).

  • Step 2: Season shrimp lightly with pepper.

  • Step 3: Place 5 shrimp on 8 skewers.

  • Step 4: Heat a clean, lightly oiled grill to medium heat. When the grill is hot add the shrimp. Careful not to burn the skewers.

  • Step 5: Grill on both sides for about 2-2 1/2 minutes per side (4-5 minutes total cooking time), or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through. I brush on some of the sauce half way through cooking time, because I like the sauce warm. (Some like it hot and some like it cold. Use it whichever way you like it). You can heat up the sauce in the microwave if you like it warmed. 30-45 seconds is about right for me.

  • Step 6: Set shrimp aside on a platter and quickly brush sauce onto the shrimp. Serve immediately.
