This recipe was very simple to make, however, where it lacked in hard work, it also lacked in taste. I followed this recipe verbatim and was disappointed to say the least. I marinated the shrimp in the liquid "concoction" that the recipe created and I actually marinated them for a few minutes longer then the recipe called for to ensure that the spice and flavors were sealed in. Turns out I would have been better of marinating them in water, because the taste would have been the same. In my opinion, while this seems a quick and easy recipe, I think its safe to say that it probably needs a little more thought to go into the acutal design of the recipe.
