dale's dazzling grilled shrimp
This is a recipe that my husband gave me that he got from some family friends growing up in St.Pete. Leaving the shells on the shrimp while grilling makes the shrimp nice and moist.

Melissa is so right! By keeping the shells on the shrimp while they grill, you end up with wonderfully moist shrimp. Thanks for the great tip! Not only are the shrimp juicy, but they're also full of flavor. These will make a delicious snack, light meal, or a tasty summer appetizer. And for those of you who like a little less spice, you can easily cut back or eliminate the cayenne. The flavor is still great.
