Highly recommend! This was so simple and turned out so well with shrimp. The mayonnaise made the shrimp moist and allowed it to grill beautifully.

This is my go-to shrimp dish for potlucks. The marinade is super easy to make and so tasty. I always make a little extra marinade but also careful not to have it soaking for too long or the shrimp will get too salty. I also prefer grilling it with shell on to keep it moist.
