Shrimp on the grill

Being the young pup that I am I've never attempted cooking shrimp on the grill, so naturally I've got a ton of questions.
What temperature to cook them at?
Leave the shell on?
Marinade beforehand?
Basically feel free to unload any and all knowledge you have on me. I know this is the place to ask for shrimp cooking tips!

Otay, seeing as I can't stay asleep and it is 3AM, here it goes. How big are the shrimp and are they head on or off? The size will determine the time on the Barbie(an alliteration to Ken), on a hot pit we are talking about two minutes per side for them to be done, for 20-30 count shrimp. If you do them on the grill, then peel them, marinate in a mixture of butter, L&P sauce, Cajun Power Garlic sauce, lemon juice, and a bit of Slap yo Mama seasoning. Get the grill hot, but put them on the grill to the "cool" side of it. If they are big and head on just search for BBQ Shrimp in the recipe thread at thetop of the page, it should provide you with the anser you seek.

CITWIT is pretty right on. I always use a skewer because flipping them individually takes way too long.
I'm a fan of Lime/Garlic/Cilantro myself, but shrimp take well to many different seasonings to go crazy. Just don't add citric acids too soon before or it will "cook" them.

This is normally what I do except I add a little spice to it as well. Then I usually grill some bell pepper and onion and make fajitas.

Absolutely the way to go

In my experience with shrimp on the grill, i prefer to leave the shell on... I think they come out better flavor and have a lesser chance of drying out (keep em juicy). I do take a knife and split them down the back of the shell and i also remove the legs. Marinate them (like the guy said in the first response) and put them on a skewer to ease in flipping.

Spiny lobster(the warm water version that has no claws) split in half, cleaned, then fried with nothing on it, and drawn butter will rock your world

I don't like marinade on shrimp. Try this: Use big shrimp, peel and cut a slit, insert sliver of pepper jack and sliver of jalapeno, season with salt, pepper, lime juice and cilantro. Wrap shrimp with bacon that has been cooked halfway (important!), wrap shrimp in bacon and skewer on a kabob. Grill high heat about two minutes per side.

You can try this marinade...never had any complaints and always enjoy when I get a chance to do this....
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/4 Molasses
1/4 Lemon Juice
4 tablespoons Soy Sauce
4 tablespoons Garlic
Marinade for 15-25 minutes (shell on/head on)...
Skewer up...
As the poster stated above...2-3 minutes tops per side of the skewers...the worst thing you can do is overcook them...
Basting sauce: Mix half Olive Oil...half melted butter..cracked black and sea salt to taste and brush on as cooking.... Enjoy

If using wood/bamboo skewers, remember to soak them in water for at least ten min.
