World's Easiest Grilled Shrimp

Submitted by LJeffTheChef

"This grilled shrimp recipe is so simple and yet such a crowd-pleaser. Note: I've made these shrimp immediately and I've also let the marinate in the fridge and both taste great. It just depends how much time you have. Lastly, they are great as an appetizer, on a hearty salad or as a main dish."

Easy and delicious! Just make sure to place them carefully so that they don't fall through the grate.
