For a smoky flavor, add a handful of wood chips (such as hickory or mesquite) to your grill. Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes before adding to the grill. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. For a milder flavor, omit it altogether. Using high-quality mayonnaise will significantly enhance the flavor and texture of the dish. Japanese mayonnaise (like Kewpie) is highly recommended for its creamy richness. Ensure the grill is not too hot, or the mayonnaise may burn before the shrimp is cooked through. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

May 6, 2025I tried this recipe and it was great, I will be making it again. The only thing I changed was I added a little bit of lime instead of lemon to the recipe.

Jan 16, 2025I used jumbo shrimp instead of medium, and they turned out great. I just had to adjust the cooking time slightly.

Dec 7, 2024I was skeptical about the mayonnaise, but it created the most incredible crust. I'll definitely be making these again.
