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.
