Four 8-inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for 15 minutes
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16 shrimp)
1/2 cup grapefruit juice
1/4 cup jalapeno jelly
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Cooking spray
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1 cup chopped red onion
Juice of 1 lime
Tabasco sauce, to taste
Bloody Mary Mix (recipe follows)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 quart Spicy V-8
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Juice of a Mexican or Key lime
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon minced cilantro

1
Thread the shrimp on the soaked wooden skewers. In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the grapefruit juice, pepper jelly, garlic, oil, and soy sauce. In a baking dish, cover the shrimp with the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator or 30 minutes.
2
Light the grill. Shake the shrimp skewers to remove excess marinade. Coat the shrimp with cooking spray and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from the grill. Remove the shrimp from the skewers.
3
Divide the avocado slices among 4 martini glasses (or four clear plastic glasses if you are tailgating). Sprinkle with red onion, lime juice, and hot sauce. Add 4 shrimp to each glass. Fill the glass with Bloody Mary Mix (without alcohol) until it just covers the bottom of the shrimp. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with a spoon and saltine crackers or tortilla chips.
4
Combine all mix ingredients, stir well, and place in the refrigerator until well chilled. The mix will last for up to 2 days, covered and refrigerated.
