PORTUGUESE GRILLED SHRIMP WITH PIRI-PIRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the shrimp and piri-piri sauce in a large resealable plastic bag and toss to coat. Place the bag in a shallow dish and place it in the fridge to marinate, turning it a few times, for several hours.
• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium arranging for indirect heat. Thread the shrimp and lemon wedges on skewers and season with salt. Grill the shrimp over indirect heat, turning several times, until just opaque, about 6 minutes. For an extra spike of flavor, brush the skewers with fresh piri-piri sauce just before serving.

Steps:

• Mix the pepper paste, garlic, cilantro, wine and olive oil in a bowl.
• Toss in the shrimp and give them a turn.
• Let stand 1/2 hour.
• Thread on the soaked skewers.
• Place the skewered shrimp over medium coals and grill 1&1/2 minutes.
• Turn over and grill the other side for 1&1/2 minutes more, until the shrimp are lightly pink and start to curl.
• Tip: for this dish you can sometimes get shrimp that has been deveined but the shells are left intact and are easy to peel. Keeping the shells on during grilling protects the shrimp from drying out.
