Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs shrimp, extra-large, peeled and deveined, tails left on (22/25)
3 tbsp olive oil (for brushing skewers )
table salt
ground black pepper
1/4 tsp sugar
lemon wedge, for serving

Directions:

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Thread onto 3 skewers, alternating directions of heads and tails. Brush both sides of shrimp with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle one side of each skewer with sugar.
Turn all burners on gas grill to high, cover, and heat until very hot, about 15 minutes. Scrape grate clean with grill brush.
Place shrimp skewers, sugared sides down, on grate; use tongs to push shrimp together on skewer if they have spearated. Grill shrimp, covered, until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Using tongs, flip and grill until second side is pink and slightly translcent 1-2 minutes longer.
Using potholder or oven mitt, carefully lift each skewer from grill; use tongs to slide shrimp off skewers into pie plate with your sauce of preference. A recommended sauce would be lemon-garlic, or fresh tomato with feta.
