Marinated Grilled Shrimp

3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 tomato sauce
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 lbs. fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

In large bowl stir together garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce, and red wine vinegar. Stir in basil, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Add shrimp to the bowl and stir until all shrimp are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Thread shrimp onto soaked skewers. Heat grill to medium heat. Grill shrimp 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until opaque.

***********************
I added a little bit of Worcestershire sauce and some Old Bay seasoning to the marinade. And instead of the cayenne pepper I used some Frank's Hot Sauce. I also grilled the shrimp with fresh pineapple chunks, red onion, and green peppers.
