Notes
This adults-only shrimp can be baked instead of grilled, if you'd rather. Just preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the shrimp from marinade, discarding marinade. Place the shrimp in an ungreased 10-inch by 15-inch rimmed baking sheet, and bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink.
