For best results, use fresh citrus juices and herbs. The flavor will be significantly better than using dried herbs or bottled juice. Don't over-marinate the shrimp! The citrus juices can start to 'cook' the shrimp if they sit in the marinade for too long, resulting in a mushy texture. If you don't have a grill basket, metal skewers work great. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque.
