Buffalo Shrimp

This is a fun recipe to have on hand when cooking for company. The marinade is good with or without the hot sauce so feel free to adjust it to your own tastes. Shrimp are sold by count, which is a range of numbers that expresses the number of shrimp per pound. The smaller the count per pound the larger the shrimp. If you are using skewers for quick grilling, you need to buy a shrimp count of 50-60 or smaller. Remember to not overcook the shrimp. It can make it tough and rubbery.
