Directions

  1. Whisk together the canola oil, hot pepper sauce, garlic, chili sauce, lemon juice, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour.

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

  3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread about 4 shrimp onto each skewer.

  4. Cook on the preheated grill until pink on the outside and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
