Chili Mayo Grilled Shrimp

I've been waiting all week to post this recipe. We had it last Saturday, but I figured I'd wait till Friday to post it, since it's a 'Weekend Grillin' kind of recipe. This was soooooo good. I love shrimp anyway, but that mayo sauce is out of this world.

This is such an easy recipe, and it took no time at all to cook these up on the grill...just a few minutes per side. Then brush on desired about of sauce, and serve immediately (shrimp gets cold super fast, so make sure you prepare any sides before hand).

Oh, and if you're wondering what Sriracha is...it's this...

for me, it was in the same spot as the Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, so that was handy. Be aware that this is a HOT sauce, so if you don't want the heat, just use less...say 1/8 teaspoon. You don't want to leave it out entirely though.

Well, I can't believe it's Friday already! This week has flown by. Good. Hopefully June and July both fly by. Then comes August and I can finally get the hell out of Charleston! Woo-Hoo!!!
