Ingredients
-
24 fresh or frozen jumbo shrimp in shells (about 1-1/2 pounds total)
-
3 tablespoon lime juice
-
2 tablespoon habanero chile sauce
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
-
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1 recipe Avocado Cocktail Sauce
-
Lime wedges
-
Sour cream (optional)
Avocado Cocktail Sauce
-
4 avocados, halved, seeded, peeled, and chopped
-
1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
-
3 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro
-
2 tablespoon lime juice
-
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire-style marinade for chicken
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, removing tails. Rinse shrimp; pat dry with paper towels. Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
-
For marinade, in a small bowl combine lime juice, habanero chile sauce, and garlic. Pour marinade over shrimp. Seal bag; turn to coat shrimp. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to 1 hour, turning bag occasionally (the shrimp will get spicier the longer they marinate). Drain shrimp, discarding marinade.
-
Thread shrimp onto four or five metal or bamboo* skewers, leaving 1/4 inch between shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
For a charcoal grill, grill skewers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 7 to 9 minutes or until shrimp are opaque, turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place skewers on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
-
To serve, divide Avocado Cocktail Sauce evenly among eight chilled glasses. Remove shrimp from skewers. Place three shrimp in each glass. Garnish with lime wedges. If desired, top with sour cream.

*Tip:
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 1 hour before grilling.
