Steps:
- For the sauce: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and shallots and saute for about two minutes. Add the cumin and smoked paprika and continue to cook, stirring, for one minute more. Add the cream and salt, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Whisk in the goat cheese, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes before stirring in the chives and parsley.
- For the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the 1/4 cup hot sauce and the olive oil, lemon zest and garlic. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque at the center. Remove to a clean bowl and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce. Serve with the goat cheese dipping sauce.
GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS
"This recipe is similar to a barbecue shrimp dish I love at a restaurant in Florida," writes Sandy Lutz from North Canton, Ohio. "I serve it as an entree with brown rice and a salad, but it could work as an appetizer, too."

BAHAMA SHRIMP SKEWERS
Rum, shrimps, pineapple...Just a few of the great flavors in this dish that remind you of a relaxing Summer vacation in the Islands :) I often adjust one of my recipes ( Recipe #367464 ) that I posted a while ago. But since it doesn't really resemble the original anymore I thought I'd post it as a seperate recipe. I never really measure when I cook, so these measurements are only estimates. You have to adjust the amounts depending on how spicy or sweet you like your shrimps. I get the best results using fresh ginger and lime juice but bottled works too. (Cook time includes marinating time) The perfect side dish would be Recipe #382390

Steps:
- Mix the first five ingredients in a bowl or zip top bag.
- Add all the spices, mix well, taste and adjust ingredients. Set a small amount of the marinade aside for basting later on.
- Add the shrimps, pineapple and veggies. Marinate in fridge for at least 3 hours.The longer the better.
- Put shrimps, pineapple and veggies onto skewers. If you use wooden ones, first soak them in lemon water to prevent burning.
- Grill on the BBQ for 12-15 minutes or until done. Keep turning and basting with the marinade you set aside earlier.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
- Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking. This will make them easier to eat.
- Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best when served hot off the grill.
