Shrimp Marinade

ellem8675309's Note:

This is awesome for grilled shrimp! I had several marinade recipes for shrimp but didn't have all of the ingredients for one recipe so I combined them consisting of what I had. I was really surprised at the results! I get wonderful compliments for this recipe. Should marinate 1-2 lbs. of shrimp--adjust to taste.

Was very flavourful. I think next time I will add something sweet (maybe honey) as it seemed lacking something.

What a great recipe. I add a pinch of cayenne pepper to give it a little extra kick. I just used it this weekend. The shrimp skewers were a big hit.
