Submitted by Jaymee

"I have made complicated marinades in the past but shrimp are so delicious they need nothing more than this treatment. Subtle flavors and the shrimp stay juicy. Alter as needed for the amount of shrimp you have."

This is excellent, Jaymee! I marinated the shrimp for a couple hours before grilling and the flavor was fabulous! Very easy following your directions to a "T". Thanks so much for a wonderful and simple to prepare dinner!

We doubled this for our family get-together over the weekend and it was a big hit! Instead of skewers, we used our shrimp basket on the grill. They tasted wonderful and were so quick and easy to make!!!
