GRILLED SHRIMP WITH HONEY-GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE
Of all the ways to prepare shrimp, the grill delivers the best flavor. Although unadorned "shrimp on the barbie" are great, an easily assembled gingery barbecue sauce makes them that much better. You can save time by buying already shelled and deveined shrimp, but our recipe developer, Alexis Touchet, who grew up in shrimp country in southwest Louisiana, thinks shell-on shrimp are better quality. Depending on where you live and what's in your market, you may not have much choice. Freshness trumps all, so don't hesitate to use your nose in deciding which shrimp to buy.

- Meanwhile, brush shrimp with vegetable oil and sprinkle evenly with salt.

I love the taste of coconut milk in food & when I saw this recipe in a Better Home and Garden Magazine, I had to share it. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water 30 minutes so they do not burn. Refrigeration time can be done the same time as the skewers are soaking.
