Our two signature sauces, Sweet Life BBQ Sauce which is our mild BBQ sauce, and Spice of Life BBQ Sauce, the spicy cousin to Sweet Life compliment a wide variety of meats.  From the staples of steaks and chicken grilled on the backyard grill to shrimp, lightly grilled and charred and finished with our mouthwatering Sweet Life BBQ Sauce, Sweet Life Sauce Company has you, and your meats covered. 

We invite you to try a few of our favorite food pairings with Sweet Life Sauce Company Sauces. 
Here is an easy but wildly tasty one….get ready…Grilled Shrimp with Spice of Life BBQ Sauce. 

Get a handful of 6 to 8 inch bamboo skewers and soak them in water for an hour or so. 

Take three or four 10 to 12 count peeled shrimp and gently skewer them onto the bamboo. 

Brush a mixture of olive oil and your favorite rub or spices onto the shrimp and let them sit covered in the refrigerator for about an hour. 

Heat your grill up and place the shrimp on the grill on medium heat…you should need about 5 to 7 minutes on each side to get them cooked properly. 

About 5 minutes before you pull them off the grill, coat the shrimp with Spice of Life BBQ Sauce on one side. 

Immediately turn them over on your grill, maybe even kicking up the heat a bit to get a light char on them. 

Coat the side facing you…while beating away your friends and family that are trying to get their hands on these morsels of perfection…and turn them to the heat for about a minute to caramelize the Spice of Life BBQ Sauce on the grilled shrimp. 

Prepare entrance music as you walk this grilled work of art to the serving table and dig in before any of your friends and family can. 

Another trick with this recipe is to hide about 10 of the skewers in your refrigerator until all of your company leaves…but you didn’t hear that one from us.

Try this one.  Poached Fresh Salmon on the grill coated with caramelized Spice of Life BBQ Sauce. 

Get a piece of fresh salmon from your favorite fish monger in Maitland. 

Grab a piece of tin foil that you can shape into a flat bottomed boat with enough room for about 1 ½ inches around the piece of fresh salmon.  Roll up the edges of the foil so they stand about an inch or so high.  Place this foil boat on the top rack of your grill. 

Place the piece of salmon in the boat and pour your favorite white wine over the salmon so that the salmon is sitting in about a ½ inch of wine.  (Check for leaks in the foil…leaks are bad!) 

Lightly coat with your favorite herbs and spices or olive oil infused with Symphony of Seasonings grilling rub. 

Now baste the salmon with a generous coating of Spice of Life BBQ sauce and let it poach in this yummy bath of flavors for about 30 minutes or so…take it off the heat, let it rest for about 5 minutes and get ready to enjoy!

Please come see Rob and Holly at the Sanford Farmers market on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.  A great little ride up from Maitland through rolling hills and farming country.
