  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Cook shrimp on preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Peel shrimp.

  4. Serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.

Recipe Note

A nice twist on a classic favorite. When catering I serve mine hanging from the edge of a HUGE martini glass with crushed ice in the center and a bowl of red cocktail sauce propped in the ice.
