For our 4th of July party several years running we’ve done spicy grilled shrimp on the barbecue. Here’s the recipe we used this year, and I thought it was really yummy. Since I forgot to get a picture either year, though, the photocredit belongs to a different recipe I found on ifood.tv. As pretty as this shrimp is with the tails on, we did go ahead and take the tails off ours before skewering them, to make them easier to eat.
