Directions

1

Heat 4 fl. oz. vegetable oil in large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until tender. Stir in ketchup, water, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, tomato paste, vinegar, mustard and hot pepper sauce. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer until thickened, approximately 20 minutes.

2

Combine HERSHEY'S Cocoa with additional 1 fl. oz. vegetable oil to form a smooth paste; stir into sauce. Remove from heat. Dip each shrimp into sauce; let stand 20 minutes to marinate.

3

Heat broiler; thread 4 shrimp on each skewer. Place shrimp on broiler tray. Broil 4 inches from heat until shrimp are done, approximately 4 minutes each side. Serve with remaining sauce.

Tip

Step 3: If using bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them in warm water for at least 15 minutes before adding ingredients.
