Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon ranch-style salad dressing
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 4 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1
Combine brown sugar, lemon juice, molasses, basil, vegetable oil, mustard, honey, clove, ranch dressing, chili powder, and garlic in a large bowl. Toss in shrimp to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in hot water to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.

Step 3
Thread shrimp tightly on to skewers. Cook on the top rack of the grill for approximately 4 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink on one side. Flip shrimp and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until there are no signs of grey. Use a fork to remove shrimp from the skewers.
