GRILLED (ALMOST) SHRIMP 
1 1/2 to 2 lb. peeled, deveined shrimp (fresh is best; frozen okay)
1 1/8 c. vodka
Salt, crushed (fine) red pepper, paprika, garlic powder
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 onion, chopped fine
2 cloves garlic, crushed or chopped fine
1 aluminum foil type pizza pan (disposable)

Combine butter, onion, and garlic in pan over medium heat on grill. Saute until brown, then add vodka and shrimp. (Vodka should almost cover shrimp completely.) Liberally add spices to shrimp at beginning.

Continue to cook over medium heat until alcohol cooks off (approximately 15-20 minutes). Close grill often!! Shrimp is done when dark brown with pink inside. Serve with rice pilaf or along with vegetable.

Hints: If shrimp cooks too fast, reduce heat or drain small portion of liquid off. Also, poking holes in pan after liquid cooked off adds a smokier taste. Onions and garlic should be blackened and makes a good garnish.

Cajun shrimp prepared spice works well in place of red pepper, paprika, etc.
