Sunny's Grilled Shrimp with Sunny's 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp (about 36), peeled and deveined, tails removed, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sunny's 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
- 3 shallots, finely chopped
- Olive oil, for coating the shallots
- Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 cups favorite ketchup (spicy varieties work great here)
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
- Special equipment: 12 metal or wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium low.
- Arrange the shrimp on the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- In a small bowl, vigorously whisk the lemon juice and olive oil.
- Brush this on both sides of the shrimp and let rest just 1 minute.
- Put some Sunny's 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce in a bowl for brushing on the shrimp; reserve the remaining sauce in a separate bowl for serving.
- Grill the shrimp until they just begin to turn color and become only slightly opaque.
- As this happens, flip the skewers and begin to brush right away with my 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce.
- Cook until the shrimp are almost completely opaque, just a few minutes more.
- Remove to a plate and cover lightly with aluminum foil to allow them to finish cooking through from the heat of the grill.
- Serve with the reserved sauce on the side.
- In a small saucepot over medium heat, add the shallots and enough olive oil to just coat them.
- Season with a pinch of salt and more pepper than normal.
- Saute the shallots until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ketchup and cook until it loses its bright red color, a few minutes more.
- Add the brown sugar and cook until it dissolves and blends in with the sauce.
- Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
- Taste again for seasoning.
- Use everywhere!
