"We decreased the oil in this quick and easy marinade to make it healthier, but the results are still so yummy you won't need cocktail sauce." — MakeItHealthy

Directions

Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near tail and once near head. Discard marinade.
Cook shrimp on preheated grill until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Very good shrimp! Rather than marinating these in a bowl, about an hour before dinner, I threaded the shrimp on wooden skewers that had been soaked. I put them in a baking dish and poured the marinade over, turning to coat both sides. I covered the dish and let these marinade in the refrigerator until dinnertime. I think it is so much easier and less messy to do it this way. Both Hubs and I enjoyed these!
