Grilled Shrimp with Spicy Rémoulade

Rémoulade is a mayonnaise-based sauce developed in France. Horseradish, mustard, and Tabasco-style red pepper sauce are added in New Orleans. In New Orleans it is served with boiled shrimp (Shrimp Rémoulade) tossed with the Rémoulade and served over lettuce. In this recipe it is served with the more robust grilled shrimp. Pictured here it was served with a brown rice pilaf.

3 dozen peeled shrimp

Olive oil for brushing

Creole Seasoned Salt, or salt and pepper

Prepare the Rémoulade Sauce (recipe follows). Prepare the grill for direct cooking over a hot fire. Skewer the shrimp so they lay flat, brush with oil, and season with Seasoned Salt. Grill directly over the fire for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes per side depending upon size. Serve with the Rémoulade.
