Recipe - Skewered Barbequed Shrimp

2 tablespoon Peanut oil
3 One half tablespoon Chopped ginger
8 Garlic cloves, peeled and
chopped
1 cup Tomato sauce
One half cup Dry sherry
1 cup Dark brown sugar
One half cup Soy sauce
One fourth cup Rice or wine vinegar
2 tablespoon Hot sauce
4 pound Medium shrimp, shelled

Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until it smokes.

Add peanut oil, then ginger, reduce heat and add garlic. Stir

in tomato sauce, sherry, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and hot sauce.

Bring to a boil, stirring, until sauce thickens. Pour sauce into

a bowl and cool; add shrimp. Marinate shrimp, refrigerated and

covered, 8 hours (I use a plastic ziptype bag.) When ready to

serve, remove shrimp from marinade, shake off excess and thread

onto skewers. Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat broiler. Grill

or broil shrimp on one side until pink. Turn and cook a few minutes,

until they are just cooked through. Bring marinade to a boil and

serve with shrimp and plenty of hot bread. Yield: 16 servings
