2 tablespoons olive oil

;;
Mix first 8 ingredients in bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 1/2 hour.
Cook your favorite way:
1. Heat olive oil in skillet. Saute shrimp until cooked thru - about 7 - 9 minutes depending on size of shrimp.
2. Thread shrimp onto skewers by running the skewer thru both ;;the head and tail ends (makes a C shape) so shrimp do not fall off. Cook on heated grill about 3-4 minutes per side.
