Steps:
- To a medium bowl, add the barbecue sauce, honey, garlic, optional sriracha or chili garlic sauce, and stir to combine. Divide mixture into two bowls (one for brushing on the shrimp while grilling and the other as a dipping sauce when serving); set bowls aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (or indoor grill pan).
- Thread about 5 to 6 shrimp onto one metal or wooden grilling skewer (soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes prior to using); repeat the threading with all remaining shrimp.
- Brush shrimp liberally with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the shrimp for about 2 minutes on the first side.
- Flip and brush the just-grilled side with the barbecue sauce mixture from one of the bowls.
- Grill for about 2 minutes on the second side, and brush the first side with the barbecue sauce mixture. As necessary, continue to brush the shrimp with the sauce and flip every 30 to 60 seconds or until done. Note - Shrimp cook very quickly, especially on a hot grill. Keep an eye on them and do not overcook or they will become tough and rubbery. There is a difference between a little charring on the tails from the grill versus overcooking them.
- Drizzle with lemon juice, optionally garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve immediately with the reserved dipping sauce. Shrimp are best warm and fresh.

NEW ORLEANS BARBECUE SHRIMP
Barbecue shrimp is an old New Orleans recipe that has nothing to do with barbecue or with grilling. Its name comes from the spicy, smoky flavor the shrimp derive from being cooked with Worcestershire sauce and lots of black pepper. It is a fine and almost absurdly fast dish - once the shrimp are peeled, you can have it on the table in 10 minutes - with a rich, savory sauce that completely belies the little effort it takes. But as I discovered once I started playing around with it, the key ingredient is neither Worcestershire sauce nor pepper, but rather butter. If you start with about a tablespoon for each serving of shrimp, you can add almost any flavor you like and create a sauce with the same creaminess and rich flavor. But start with Worcestershire sauce and pepper!

- When shrimp are done, add salt and pepper, then lemon juice. Serve over rice or with bread.

SAUCY BARBECUE SHRIMP
This old, rustic Cajun dish is one of our family favorites. Don't remove the shells from the shrimp-the beauty of this dish is peeling the shrimp and dipping it in the sauce. We've doubled and even tripled this barbecue shrimp to feed crowds and it's always perfect! -Debbie Glasscock, Conway, Arkansas

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute longer, then stir in the shrimp, paprika, thyme, black pepper and salt. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons water and bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the butter cubes and swirl the pan to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer until the shrimp are pink and just opaque all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with lots of napkins and some crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.

SASSY SEASONED SHRIMP
I came up with this recipe for the Mixing Pot Challenge of the Zaar World Tour 6. I tried to represent my team "A Seasoned Sailor and his Sassy Sirens" in an Asian marinade that is great for shrimp. Its zesty and sweet, and has a bit of kick, just like our team. I used the marinade for grilled shrimp, I also tried it sauteed and liked the grilling method best. I recommend saving out about 1/4 cup of the marinade as a dipping sauce for the grilled shimp. We served it with fried rice as a side dish, but this would also make a wonderful appetizer! If you like it spicy, use 4 tablespoons of the chili garlic sauce. I used 3 and it was a little spicy but I could have gone hotter. You can also add some crushed red pepper to kick it up. Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- Mix first eight ingredients in a bowl (or simply put all in a large ziploc and squish to mix). You can reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade as a dipping sauce.
- Put the marinade in a large ziploc bag and add shrimp.
- Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
- Take shrimp out of bag and thread onto skewers.
- Grill over medium high heat for about 4 minutes each side, or until shrimp are done.
- Serve with reserved marinade as a dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give you the best flavor and texture.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat: This will help to quickly cook the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Do not overcook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Barbecued shrimp are best served hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Sassy Barbecued Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs, then grilled to perfection. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables. You can also use the marinade to make a delicious sauce for dipping.
