One Christmas, my brother, Joshua, gifted me a jar of Blue Diamond Habanero BBQ–flavored almonds. I OD’d on them. I think I almost licked the inside of the jar after eating all the almonds. I’m pretty sure I did. Yes, I know, I’m a weirdo, but so what. They were a mood! The flavor lingered in my mind and I thought it would be perfect for a grilled shrimp recipe. I love grilling shrimp, especially in the summer, because they take no time.
