• You can use shelled shrimp, just don't marinate for too long or the lemon juice will begin to cook the shrimp. Marinate for about 15-20 minutes before cooking.
• Watch shrimp carefully when they are on the bbq, as they cook quickly, especially without the shell, and you don't want them to dry out.
