This is one of my favorite recipes for grilled shrimp. If you have a good seafood market near you buy some U-10's. These shrimp are very big, 10 to the pound and worth every penny you pay for them.

- Place cleaned shrimp in a glass bowl and add the marinade allow shrimp to soak in the marinade for 1 hour.
- While this is happening start a fire with your favorite wood. I like to use cherry or apple wood on the grill, for the sweet earthy smoke they emit.
- Put the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2 minutes on each side basting with the left over marinade.
- Cooking time will vary depending on the fire you have made.
- Don't over cook the shrimp they will be tough.
- To the eyeball they will appear snow white and slightly opaque, on the inside, and reddish pink on the outside.
- Serve with a Caesar salad, crusty French bread and champagne.
