How to Make Sweet And Spicy Bbq Shrimp

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chili sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1 tablespoon tequila, and 1 teaspoon creole seasoning.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl and gently toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  4. Thread shrimp onto the soaked skewers.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite grilled vegetables and rice, or simply arrange on a bed of lettuce for a refreshing BBQ platter.
