Grilled Buffalo Shrimp

Submitted by Blackbird522

"Out of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. One of Cleveland Cavaliers' Donyell Marshall's favorite recipes. Originally called for broiling but everything is better grilled! I add more hot sauce than is called for and it still isn't too spicy."

This didn't have a flavor that remotely resembled Buffalo Shrimp (chicken, etc...) Using only half of the Worcestershire sauce, the flavor was too pronounced. While this wasn't what I had hoped for flavor-wise, this was a decent marinade for grilled shrimp. I liked that the ingredients were put through the blender then simmered. Good idea.

This recipe was a very nice change for shrimp. I had purchased jumbo shrimp and wanted to put them on the grill as a kabob. This recipe worked out well. I would only suggest leaving out the water to keep the sauce thick enough to use for the grill. We will defintley be making this again. Went nicely with mashed potatoes & corn. Thanks for posting!

Out of this world delicious and truly deserving of more than 5 stars!! I think this is my new favorite grilled shrimp recipe. The shrimp were bursting with flavor. They were spicy with just the barest hint of sweetness. This one is going in my recipe box to be made often.
