Recipe: Sweet & Spicy Shrimp Skewers

This weekend's forecast for the mid-Atlantic is relatively mild, so why not cook another meal on the grill? This recipe is sweet with just a hint of kick. It pairs deliciously with plain couscous and a veggie side.

Ingredients/Supplies:

• 2 1/2 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp scallions, chopped fine
• 1 1/2 tbsp Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
• 1/2 tsp Sriracha (or to taste)
• 40 large (12.8 oz) raw shrimp, shelled and deveined (weight after peeled)
• fresh cracked pepper 
• oil spray
• metal skewers or wooden skewers that have soaked for at least 20 minutes

Directions:

1. Heat a clean, lightly oiled grill, to medium heat
2. Combine the mayo, scallions, sweet chili sauce and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Season shrimp lightly with pepper.
4. Place shrimp on skewers so they have a finger-width worth of space in between them
5. Add skewers to heated grill
6. Grill on both sides for about two/three minutes each side or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.
7. Carefully remove shrimp from grill and quickly brush sauce onto the shrimp.
8. Serve and enjoy!
