2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. sea salt
2 lbs uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (16-20 per lb)

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; set aside ¼ cup. Thread shrimp onto eight metal or soaked wooden skewers.

Grill shrimp, covered, over medium heat 3-5 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink, basting occasionally with butter mixture. Remove from grill; brush with reserved butter mixture.
