- 1 pound 16/20 Black Tiger Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp Dizzy Pig Dizzy Dust
- 1 bottle PS Seasonings Cherry Bomb BBQ Sauce divided
- 1 tbsp chives chopped
Season: Place the thawed shrimp in a large bowl. Dust generously with Dizzy Dust and toss to coat.
Marinate: Pour half of the Cherry Bomb BBQ Sauce over the shrimp. Toss until well-coated and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare the Glaze: Pour a small amount of fresh BBQ sauce into a separate container for basting during the cook. (Do not use the marinade from the shrimp bowl for this step.)
Skewer: Thread the shrimp onto skewers (about 4 per skewer). Pierce through the head-end and tail-end to prevent spinning on the grates.
BGE Setup: Stabilize your Big Green Egg at 350°F for direct grilling. Ensure your grates are clean.
The Cook: Place the skewers directly over the coals. Cook for 3–4 minutes on the first side. Apply a layer of the reserved glaze with a brush while they cook.
The Flip: Flip the skewers and apply more glaze. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and have a deep, mahogany char.
Serve: Remove from the Egg once the shrimp form a "C" shape. Serve immediately while hot and glistening.
