Chilli Shrimp Kebabs are a firm essential in my house. These amazing spicy shrimp are easy to prepare and even easier to cook. They only take 4 minutes on a bbq or under a grill and hold their flavour and the ingredients. The marinade is full of flavour for the orient/far east. The marinade also makes a perfect sauce to baste the shrimp while they cook. I use sriracha for extra kick with Chinese chilli paste but crushed chilli flakes or Tabasco sauce are good alternatives. Serve as a starter, main dish, canape and side dish.
