This grilled shrimp has a wonderful smokey flavor.  The marinade is quick and simple to put together.  It just needs a couple hours to marinate with the shrimp to bring out the wonderful flavors. Shrimp serves as an excellent source of lean protein. Each 6-ounce portion provides 39 grams of protein -- a significant amount toward the 46 grams recommended daily for women and 56 grams for men.  Loaded with protein, vitamin D, vitamin B3, and zinc, shrimp are an excellent, carbohydrate-free food.  Shrimp also contains 165.8mg of cholesterol per serving, over half the recommended limit of 300mg per day.  However, shrimp also contains omega-3, a fatty acid that could help prevent or reduce your risks for heart disease and other health conditions, such as diabetes.
