Honey Grilled Shrimp



Another fabulous recipe from Lindsay who found it on allrecipes.com . Instead of grilling it, I broiled it in our oven, and it turned out great. One mistake I made was not reading the directions thoroughly before cooking. I didn't realize I had to let the shrimp marinate for one hour in the fridge. Our shrimp marinated for about 30 or so minutes.

INGREDIENTS:

*1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on (we used 1.3 pounds and removed the tails)
*1/2 tsp garlic powder
*1 tsp ground black pepper
*1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
*2 T dry white wine
*2 T Italian-style salad dressing
*1/4 cup honey (we added a little more)
*1/4 cup butter, melted (we used Plugra unsalted)
*2 T Worcestershire sauce
*skewers


DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, mix together garlic powder, black pepper, 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce, wine, and salad dressing; add shrimp, and toss to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2. Preheat grill for high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.

3. In a small bowl, stir together honey, melted butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. Set aside for basting.

4. Lightly oil grill grate. Grill shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Baste occasionally with the honey-butter sauce while grilling. (We broiled our shrimp in our oven, about 3-5 min each side, basting before and in-between; we started on a low-broil, and changed it to high-broil during the last half).
