Start with a pound of Jumbo Shrimp (16-20 count) that are peeled and deveined.

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and then place them on wood skewers (about 5 shrimp per skewer).

Set up your grill for Direct High Heat.  You want the grill to be super hot, at least 500F.

Put the shrimp skewers on the grill and let them cook for two and a half minutes.

Flip the skewers over and baste liberally  with a Thai sweet red chili sauce.
