For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried oregano or thyme to the marinade. If you don't have a grill, you can easily cook these shrimp in a skillet over medium-high heat. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. For a milder flavor, reduce the amount or omit it altogether. For best results, use fresh, high-quality shrimp.
