Thermonuclear BBQ Shrimp

I served these when the family last came to visit. Haven't seen 'em since. :hell:

2 lbs big fat fresh raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, leave tail intact
3 large habanero peppers, stem removed, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons onions, chopped
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon brown sugar
skewers
2 cloves garlic, more to taste


Wash the shrimp, drain and place on skewers 4-6 per skewer.
Sauté onions and garlic in butter, remove from heat and place in blender. Add cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice pepper, cumin, brown sugar and the habanẽros with seeds; blend till smooth.
Brush onto the shrimp skewers and let marinate for 30-60 minutes in fridge (I let mine soak overnight).
Start grill and cook until opaque and slightly crispy.
Dust with paprika and serve.
 
Thanks Talas. The Worcestershire doesn't seem as popular here in Canada as it was in England, but my father used it extensively when I was a child so I do the same with most of my recipes... can we say 'run-on-sentance'? Good thing grammar counts for little here. On the other hand, he used to eat Marmite and sardines on toast as well... not too fond of that one.
