How To Make rum-glazed shrimp

Peel shrimp, leaving tails intact. Place shrimp in a bowl with 4 tbsp. rum along with lemon or lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, pepper; toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for up to 1 hour.

Step 2

Combine brown sugar, vinegar, and remaining 2 tbsp. rum. Thread shrimp onto skewers and lightly brush with brown sugar glaze.
Step 3

Grill over medium hot fire, brushing with additional glaze until shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes on each side or until done.
