Sweet And Spicy Glazed Shrimp

I love basting this spicy, sweet, sticky glaze on grilled shrimp. The glaze perfectly complements the natural sweetness in the shrimp, and because shrimp cooks so quickly, the sugar in the glaze is less likely to burn. To make this dish even easier, I put the shrimp on skewers for easy turning.

1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and thread onto skewers. Lightly brush shrimp with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
