Grilled Shrimp with Spicy Garlic Paste

NOTE: To keep the shrimp from dropping through the grill rack onto the hot coals, thread them onto skewers. You can cook shrimp loose on a perforated grill grid that rests right on the cooking grate. The problem with this method is that each shrimp must be turned individually with tongs rather than in groups, as with skewered shrimp. The shrimp are more likely to cook unevenly on a grid because it takes so long to turn them all. Serves four to six.
