"I got this recipe from my friend Wayne who loves spicy food after eating it at his house. Knowing his love of heat I greatly reduce the chili sauce when I made it the first time but was surprised how much spicier mine was than his. It turns out I was supposed to use the chili sauce you find on the shelf near the ketchup not the Thai Garlic Chili sauce I had on hand!! Time doesn't include marinating the shrimp"

I like to use the Cooks method for Grilling shrimp Go here and look at the photo of the shrimp nice and snug together http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/07/food-lab-how-to-grill-shrimp.html.
go ahead and baste just like Wayne.
squeeze the juice from the lime over the shrimp as you plate the shrimp off the grill and give it a light dust of pepper.
I love this with my Grilled Garlic Bread.
