1. To make the marinade: whisk together all the ingredients except the shrimp. Prep the shrimp and submerge in the marinade. Set aside to marinate for 20-30 minutes.
2. Preheat the broiler and place the rack 6-8 inches below the heat source. Place the shrimp on skewers or in a single layer on a foil-covered baking sheet and drizzle with the marinade. Broil for 2-3 minutes, then turn the shrimp and broil until the shrimp are opaque, another 2-3 minutes.
