I'm not a fan of grilled shrimp, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. The marinade was flavorful and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this recipe again.

I tried this recipe and the shrimp were a little overcooked. I think I will try it again and cook them for a shorter amount of time.
