Recipe Introduction


I've made these on Christmas Eve several times, and my family always requests them. They go so fast that everyone complains that I didn't make enough. The sauce is terrific (and easy).


List of Ingredients




2 lbs. shrimp, cleaned and shelled

Rub:
1/4 t. red pepper flakes
2 t. paprika
1 t. thyme
1/2 t. each white and black pepper
1/2 t. ground red pepper.
1 t. ground cumin

Marinade:
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 c. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced fine

Recipe



Mix rub ingredients well. Shake shrimp in spices until well coated. Pour marinade over shrimp and allow to sit in marinade at least30 minutes.

Place 4-6 shrimp, depending on size on each skewer. Grill 3 minutes on each side until browned but still moist.

Serve with the following dip:
1/2 c. good quality catsup
1 T. mustard
1/2 t. ground cumin
