Ingredients
1 ½lbsjumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, kept cold
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and thread shrimp onto four 12-inch skewers. Bamboo skewers must be pre-soaked in water first. Brush with 1 TB butter and season with cayenne and a pinch of salt on both sides. Keep chilled until grill is ready.
Heat Thai sweet chili sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Off heat, whisk in remaining butter, lime juice, and lime zest. Cover and keep warm.
Grill shrimp over hot fire, about 30-60 seconds per side. Brush with glaze and serve immediately.
You can also use reusable skewers that don't need to be presoaked.
Sometimes Thai Sweet Chili Sauce is labeled "for chicken" and can be found in major grocery stores' Asian aisle. Look for a thick orange-red sauce with red pepper flakes in it.
