Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • whisk or spoon
  • Grill or grill pan
  • Skewers (wood or metal)
  • Basting brush
  • Tongs
  • Plate for serving

Ingredients

  • ¼ tbsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp basil (fresh chopped)
  • 1 tbsp garlic (finely minced)
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce
  • 10-15 shrimp

Instructions

Marinating the Shrimp

  • In a bowl, combine cayenne pepper, salt, garlic, red wine vinegar, chopped basil, olive oil, and tomato sauce. Stir well until evenly mixed.
  • Set aside a small portion of the marinade to brush onto the shrimp while grilling.
  • Add 10–15 large shrimp to the remaining marinade. Toss gently to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes to let the flavors sink in.

Prepping for the Grill

  • Remove marinated shrimp from the fridge. Thread 4–5 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving slight gaps between each to ensure even cooking.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (charcoal or gas). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.

Grilling the Shrimp

  • Place the shrimp skewers over direct heat. Grill for about 2 minutes per side, until shrimp turn pink and slightly charred.
  • In the final minute, brush the reserved marinade over the shrimp for an extra flavor boost.
  • Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Don’t Over-Marinate: 45 minutes is the sweet spot—too long and the acid will overcook the shrimp.
  • Use Fresh Shrimp: Frozen is fine too, but make sure they’re fully thawed and patted dry before marinating.
  • Control the Grill Temperature: Too hot, and the shrimp will char before cooking through.
  • Brush With Love: The reserved marinade adds an extra burst of flavor—don’t skip it!
  • Soak Wooden Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
