Description

This simple marinade for shrimp is guaranteed to please. Passed down by my mother-in-law, it's without a doubt one of her greatest contributions to humankind. Serve over rice.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • ¾ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • ¼ cup tomato-based chili sauce
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 pounds peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 16 skewers
Directions
  1. 1. Whisk together the canola oil, hot pepper sauce, garlic, chili sauce, lemon juice, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour.
  2. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  3. 3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread about 4 shrimp onto each skewer.
  4. 4. Cook on the preheated grill until pink on the outside and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
