Rum BBQ Shrimp is gastronomic alchemy.

Honey, lime, rum, ginger and shrimp all have very strong and pronounced flavors. But when you mix them all together and add a little smoke, something magical happens. It really is a case of the result being greater than the sum of the parts.



Rum BBQ Shrimp If the shrimp are large enough (16/20 size), you can grill right on the grate. We prefer a basket as it is easier to keep the shrimp from falling through and easier to turn.

You could also kabob them.
