Mix the following thoroughly:

    1 pound fresh pealed and

    4 TBSP olive oil
    3 TBSP lemon juice
    3 TBSP of your favorite red wine
    2 tsp brandied pepper (or fresh
         cracked black pepper w/1 TBSP
         brandy - optional)
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp basil
    1 garlic clove grated
    1/2 tsp paprika
    1/4 tsp cayenne

Blend all the ingredients thoroughly and marinate shrimp for 1 hour. While marinating, start the grill with ample charcoal to make a medium to hot fire. Allow the grate to become hot and brush the rack with wire brush to remove impurities.

Place shrimp on grate and don't let those precious jewels fall into the fire! Cook until firm and don't over cook. Goes great with pasta. Enjoy!
