Add shrimp and marinate at least 10 minutes but NO more than 30 minutes. Drain marinade into a medium size saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 3-4 minutes. Thread the shrimp on the skewers or lay them on the foil covered grill (or in the broiler). Grill about 2 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and are pink and opaque in the center. To broil, broil 4-6 inches from the heat source until cooked through. Serve with the hot marinade as a dipping sauce. This recipe from CDKitchen for Cajun Grilled Shrimp serves/makes 8
