I used large shrimp and cut the recipe way down...served it with one of our appy nights...we had mixed feelings about this dish...I felt that the marinade was fighting for attention with the mayo mixture...I would have just loved grilling the shrimp with salt and pepper and dipping it into the marinade mixture...that mixture is awesome...the hubby really enjoyed the mayo mixture and wanted to eat it with just plan grilled shrimp...like a tarter sauce...I marinated the shrimp for 3 hours and grilled them on my George Foreman Grill...made for "First Time" tag game...
