Notes
The shrimp for this recipe need to be peeled, deveined and cooked so please plan accordingly. Sometimes you can buy them this way.
I prefer the 21-30 size shrimp. You could substitute another size but I wouldn't use too small a size.
You can use frozen shrimp for this recipe but then need to be thawed first.
I don't recommend making this more than 24 hours in advance. The citrus from the marinade can cook the shrimp over time and make it seem overdone and tough.
