INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare a medium-hot barbecue fire. Scrap then oil the grill rack or coat
with nonstick vegetable spray. If using bamboo skewers, soak them at least
30 minutes in cold water.
In a small dish combine the herbs and spices. Combine the oil and garlic.
Brush the shrimp with the flavored oil, then kle with the spice mixture to
coat lightly. Let the shrimp stand 30 minutes at room temperature.
Thread the shrimp on metal or soaked bamboo skewers. Grill, turning once or
twice, 3 to 5 minutes, until firm and just cooked through.
Serve the shrimp with lemon wedges. Makes 8 appetizers or 4 entrees.

The "jerked" meats and poultry of Jamaica are "hot stuff" to trendy
palates. Jumbo shrimp, with its meaty texture, is a nontraditional but
definitely delicious variation on the theme. A mix of hot and sweet herbs
and spices, the jerk seasoning can be either a liquid marinade or, as is
used here, a rub. I especially like the addition of curry powder to the
already complex blend of herbs and spices. Any unused spice mixture can be
stored, tightly covered, in a cool place for a couple of months.
