Notes

This shrimp can also be placed onto a pan on the grill for more flavor. It's a quick and easy menu item whether using the sheet pan version indoors or outdoors on the grill.
There are about 24 jumbo shrimp/lb. Servings will vary from 6-10 shrimp per person depending on the remainder of the other courses being served. This recipe calls for 1 1/2 lbs. so, that would be 6 servings of 6 shrimp per person if you are planning your menu.
I love to add a purchased mango salsa to add more flavor and a little something extra when serving.
