Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, lemon juice, molasses, basil, vegetable oil, mustard, honey, clove, ranch dressing, chili powder, and garlic. Add shrimp, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours. Simultaneously, soak wooden skewers in hot water to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat, then lightly oil the grill grate.
Tightly thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers. Place on the grill's top rack and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink on one side. Turn the shrimp and continue cooking for another 2 to 4 minutes, ensuring no grey remains. Use a fork to carefully remove the cooked shrimp from the skewers.
