Some of the shrimp marinade is set aside to mix in after its cooked. It gives a flavor boost, and brightens up the finished dish. If you have a little extra time, let the shrimp sit in the marinade at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes to give it more time to penetrate the shrimp. If you can, try cooking the shrimp outdoors. Think of the grill as an invisible ingredient, adding layers of flavor with no extra calories, fat, or sodium. While the shrimp is grilling, make use of those coals and add a handful of asparagus or long slices of zucchini to cook alongside.
