Servings: persons

1 lb large shrimp, thawed, deveined and unshelled
1/3 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon pepper (4 pepper mix is best)
4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
4 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 limes, fresh
2 teaspoons garlic salt

1
Prepare your shrimp, and leave in the fridge until you're ready.
2
Next, mix the rum, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, ground pepper, chopped basil, olive oil, garlic salt and juice from 2 of the limes.
3
Using a chocolate grater, add the zest from the third lime to the mix.
4
Use the juice from the last lime, and add that to the mix as well.
5
Place your shrimp into the liquid, and leave for between 1 - 2 hours. (60 minutes seems to be the magic number for us, because after that, the rum is a little overpowering).
6
Grill on a hot barbeque about 2-3 minutes each side, or until pink. The caramelisation is amazing!
7
In absence of a barbeque, pan frying or broiling is good too.
8
We serve on stir fried vegetables (using the juice from the mix) and pasta.
9
ENJOY!
