• Place shrimp in a bowl and pour marinade over them
• Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. Not over 30 minutes!

Comments: 5/7/2013 - I used frozen shrimp with 21 to 25 shrimp per pound. I did not realize that they had not been de-shelled. Grilling them for 12 minutes left them over done and tough.
3/14/2019 - We ate a pound of large shrimp, 16 to 20 per pound. Grilled on the Kabob-it for 8 minutes, the shrimp had turned pink, but were a little less than done. Maybe the ideal cooking time is a function of the size of the shrimp.
