Ive made this several times and have discovered that I need to watch my times very closly. Setting too long in the salty mixture can ruin it. I have passed this along to friends, who all enjoy it very much. I usually serve 4 shrimp on top of a 4oz. piece of peppered and grilled buffalo top sirloin, roasted rosemary potatoes and a crisp cold mixed salad.

The spices were just right for this recipe. It had a really good flavor. I did leave the shrimp in the garlic, salt, spice mixture to marinade for awhile and then I added the lemon juice shortly before cooking (if seafood is left in an acid for too long it can get mushy). Furthermore, I used my George Forman grill to cook the shrimp; it is winter and I was too lazy to stand in the garage with the regular grill. It only took about 2 minutes for the shrimp to cook. through.

This was a quick and easy recipe, great for seafood lovers such as myself :) The only thing I did different, was I used a 1 whole fresh lemon, squeezed, rather than lemon juice. It made more of a sauce that I could pour over white rice with the shrimp. My fiance loved it.
