When its bbq weather, I always these. Spicy Bbq Shrimp are so juicy and full of flavour yet the recipe is so simple. The hit of sherry is the perfect finishing touch to the shrimp. While I use cayenne pepper for the heat, paprika and chilli powder work well. Serve as a side dish or a main dish.
Spicy Bbq Shrimp
Shrimp with a kick – that’s how I like them. Using Cayenne Pepper means you choose the kick.
