Name: Monster Shrimp with Orange Chili Glaze
Ingredients: 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 2 oranges); 1/2 cup fresh cilantro; 1 tablespoon Asian red chili paste; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 2 garlic cloves; 3 scallions, green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces; 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 pounds extra-large shrimp (16 to 20-count size), shelled and deveined

These are big shrimp, the ones that ate the other shrimp. When they opened the cage door after the death match, these are the shrimp that walked out of the ring.

Don't turn your back on the grill while you're cooking these — someone's liable to abscond with them.
