1 tablespoon Sriracha
2 cloves garlic , finely minced
1 smal Thai chile , ribs and seeds removed, minced
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 & 1/2 pounds large shrimp (21-25 count) thawed if frozen, peeled, deveined, tails off

Put 1/4 cup each olive oil and lime juice, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 small minced Thai chile, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag; seal and shake to combine.

Remove shrimp from the plastic bag and transfer the marinade to a little saucepan.
Place saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Thread 4 to 5 shrimp onto metal skewers, leaving a bit of space in between. (If you only have wood or bamboo skewers, soak them first for at least 30 minutes.)
Oil the hot grill grates well and place skewers on them, close the lid, cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip the shrimp and baste with some of the reserved marinade, cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
