Grilled Garlic Shrimp

These grilled shrimp receive a double dose of garlic flavor – fresh garlic and garlic salt. Try not to marinate longer than 30 minutes, as the acid from the lemon juice will start to break down the delicate shrimp meat and make it mushy. Extra large shrimp come 26 to 30 shrimp per pound.
