Be cautious with the salt; shrimp tend to absorb it quickly. Taste and adjust accordingly. For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Avoid over-marinating the shrimp, as the acidity of the citrus can begin to 'cook' them, resulting in a rubbery texture. If grilling, thread the shrimp onto skewers after marinating and grill over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side.
