I highly recommend you try to get your hands on some Sriracha. A Thai hot chili paste that is both tangy and sweet, Sriracha really packs a punch. You’ll find it at specialty or Asian markets.
    Memphis Dry Rub Shrimp Skewers
    This rub is based on the classic Memphis dry rub for pork or beef ribs. By cutting out the ribs and swapping in plump, fresh shrimp, you go from around 800 calories a serving down to an unbelievable 105 calories per serving, without sacrificing any of that great Memphis flavor. Serves 4
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 teaspoon light brown sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    ¾ teaspoon chili powder
    ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
    ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
    ½ teaspoon dried oregano
    ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    Metal or presoaked bamboo skewers
    1. Spray the grill grate with cooking spray and preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    2. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, brown sugar, salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne and mix thoroughly.
    3. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the oil. Add the dry rub mixture and toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
    4. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, piercing each shrimp with two parallel skewers, leaving about 1 inch of space between each shrimp. Grill, turning once or twice, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes in total.

    Skewer School
    Here are a few tips for using skewers on a hot grill. First off, make sure you soak your skewers for about 20 minutes if you are using the wooden ones. This will prevent them from burning on the open flame. When you are threading shrimp or scallops, thread the seafood on two parallel skewers to prevent it from spinning when you turn it on the grill. Lastly, for even cooking on the skewers, make sure you don’t crowd the food you thread onto them.
    Peachy BBQ Grouper
    We take great pride in our peaches in Georgia, so if you can get your hands on some sweet Georgia peaches, definitely use fresh. But don’t limit yourself to this dish during the short but sweet peach season. Canned peaches are a perfectly respectable stand-in. Once you’ve sampled this fish, you won’t want to wait for peach season to roll around to try it again. And if your market doesn’t have grouper on hand, other white-meat, firm-textured fish like mahi-mahi or snapper are a fine substitute. Serves 4
    1½ cups peeled and pitted fresh or canned peaches, drained if canned
    ¾ cup bottled low-sodium barbecue sauce
    4 grouper fillets (5 ounces each), patted dry
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 teaspoons canola oil
    ¼ cup sliced scallions (white and light green parts only), for serving
    Lime wedges, for serving
    1. Using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender, puree 1 cup of the peaches until smooth. Pour into a medium saucepan and stir in the barbecue sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
    2. Spray the grill grate with cooking spray and preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    3. Season the fish with the salt and pepper, brush lightly with the oil, and grill, covered, until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Generously brush both sides of the fish with the peach barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking time.
    4. Set the fish on a serving platter and brush the tops of the fillets with more peach barbecue sauce. Finely chop the remaining ½ cup of peaches and scatter chopped peaches and scallions over the fish. Serve with lime wedges.
