Recipe for Honey Jalapeno Shrimp "For Two"

Are you a shrimp lover? We love chiles, and we love shrimp. They make a great combination if you do it right. Here's a recipe for you to try if you want to grill something "just for the two of you."

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 tablespoon canned diced jalapeno chiles
12 raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and tails on (about 1 pound) (may use frozen)
1 tablespoon garlic-flavored or plain olive oil

Preparation:
Heat grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine honey and chiles with some of the liquid from the chile can; set aside. Brush both sides of shrimp with olive oil. Arrange on a mesh grill rack, thread on skewers or place directly on grill grate (if they are large enough not to fall through). Cook shrimp on first side until tails are pink, 3 to 6 minutes. Turn shrimp, brush with honey mixture and grill until pink throughout, another 1 to 4 minutes.

Then, ENJOY!, along with your favorite sides and drinks.
