There's an awful long list of ingredients in this recipe, but they're mostly just spices that you should already have sitting around in your spice cupboard. It all came together deliciously.

Ingredients:

REMOULADE:
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon Paprika

SHRIMP:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 1/2 pounds large shrimp (20 per pound), peeled and deveined

Directions:

1. Prepare Sauce: Mash the green onions and garlic in a bowl. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Chill, covered with plastic wrap, for 1 to 24 hours. The flavor is best after 24 hours. You may store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

2. Prepare Shrimp: Mix 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil, and remaining ingredients (except shrimp) in a bowl (or put in large ziploc baggie). Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinated, covered, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat grill or a heavy skillet. Brush the grill rack with additional olive oil and arrange the shrimp on the rack (or place on kebabs). Grill over hot coals for 1 to 2 minutes per side or just until barely opaque in the center. Arrange on a heated platter and serve with the sauce. You may also serve chilled.
