- Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a briny, sweet flavor, while frozen shrimp can be bland and watery.
- Make sure the shrimp is deveined and peeled before marinating it.
- Use a variety of citrus juices in the marinade. Lime juice is the traditional choice, but you can also use lemon juice, grapefruit juice, or orange juice.
- Add some chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers to the marinade for extra flavor.
- Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours. If you marinate the shrimp for too long, it will become tough and rubbery.
