I'm planning on marinating and skewering the shrimp on the barbie for the show but I don't know what kind of marinades to use. Any suggestions?

Shouldn't you ask my permission before you marinate and skewer me?

Here's some pretty good ideas...

Lawrys makes a great teriyaki with pineapple juice and one with lime juice that is great. You don't really have to marinade them, just brush it on as it cooks. You won't be disappointed. Use this a lot. Also use it on chicken, halibut and swordfish. Just cook about 2 minutes a side. Cook them too long and they are tough.

I wish I were going to Hawaii too!!.... It's for San Jose!

Pirate's Gold... get it at Publix next to the marinades...

this makes me want to do a shrimp boil this weekend

that'll be good after a long day of moving. Kick back with some margaritas and a bucket of shrimp

Teriyaki or BBQ sauce is good, and easy. Just remember that shrimp are "delicate;" you don't need to marinade them more than 20-30 minutes or else they'll only taste like the marinade.

Make sure to add a little oil or melted butter to your marinade to keep the shrimp from drying out while they're cooking.

Okay, this thread makes me want to make shrimp. So let's hear from you folks - how do YOU do shrimp? Not necessarily for tailgating, but at home.

Grilled, in stir fry, over pasta with alfredo, on pizza....

Boiled w/Old Bay....and perhaps some drawn butter....Or just like they are.....they're so good...why try to improve on them?

Sometimes on the grill.....with a little lime juice ...



and hit Cedar River here for fried shrimp.....wonderful!

Stir fry with salt, pepper, butter or olive oil, garlic, and paprika. Squeeze a little lemon or lime on the shrimp and serve with pasta or zucchini, asparagus and cherry tomatoes cut in half.



or Shrimp Kisses!!

boil em in good beer.......yummy.

I love both of these. They have Lawry's Havana Garlic Lime Marinade With Lime Juice and for some kick they make Lawry's Louisiana Red Pepper Marinade With Lemon Juice.

depends.. would it make you taste better?

If you marinade be careful about citrus. If you marinade in say lime or lemon juice or any product that contains them for more than a half hour or so the acid will cook the shrimp. When you go to grill them they will turn quickly into mush.
Yummmm shrimp.
