Original Recipe Yield 16 skewers

Ingredients

1 cup canola oil
3/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup tomato-based chili sauce
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds peeled and deveined medium shrimp
16 skewers

Directions

Whisk together the canola oil, hot pepper sauce, garlic, chili sauce, lemon juice, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread about 4 shrimp onto each skewer.
Cook on the preheated grill until pink on the outside and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
