Grilled Shrimp Skewers

I love grilled shrimp. Unfortunately, my husband only like shrimp if it’s breaded and deep fried and two of my kids now follow his preference. However, my oldest son is a huge shrimp fan. So I was going to grill some steaks for dinner and decided that this would be the perfect time for my son and I to enjoy some grilled shrimp. Of course, my son wanted steak along with these grilled shrimp skewers. It amazes me how much a teenage boy can fit in that stomach. I however, just went for the shrimp and everyone else was happy with their steak.
I found this recipe on the Taste of Home website. It came from their Cooking for 2 magazine last Summer, so it makes enough for 2 servings which was perfect for us but it could easily be doubled or tripled. It was DELICIOUS! Both my son and I loved it. It was full of flavor. You get some spice from the chili sauce and tang from the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. OH, so good. I even got my husband to try one. He actually thought that it wasn’t bad and said it didn’t taste fishy at all.
