Honey Grilled Shrimp

(Picture taken from here)

This is not one of those everyday, grab stuff from the pantry, throw something in the oven, kind of dinners. This is something that I make for a special occasion and man do they Rock! I made these for Christmas dinner at the Howes' and they were a big hit. If you happen to be crazy for shrimp like 3 of the 4 Howe girls are then you must try these!


1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
2 T. Italian salad dressing
2 T. water
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tails on

In a large Ziploc bag combine garlic powder, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, salad dressing and shrimp, and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Thread shrimp onto skewers piercing once near the tail and one near the head. Discard remaining marinade. Grill shrimp on med-high heat turning every 2 minutes until pink and done. While grilling brush both sides liberally with glaze.

Glaze

1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. butter, melted
2 T. Worcestershire sauce

These are just the yummiest thing ever!! As a side note I must mention that Worcestershire sauce is actually pronounced like woost-a-shur. Just ask Mark!
