    <p />george,
    I wouldn't go very much higher than 400. If your marinade has any sugar content at all they will burn. IMHO.[p]Mike[p]Mr. Mango on my shoulder shrimp.

    george,
    I would keep temps in the 350-400 range and no higher. Keep in mind that the shrimp will continue to cook after removing from the egg, much more than other types of foods (chicken, pork or beef). Be careful NOT TO OVERCOOK or the end result will be VERY rubbery.[p]I prefer Dizzy Pig Raging River Rub for my shrimp on the Egg. Good luck

    george,[p]I typically melt butter in lemon juice, brush on the shrimp kabobs, and then sprinkle with a spice mix. Then grill at 400-450 direct on the lower grid for about 2 minutes per side (medium shrimp) or 3 min/side (large shrimp).
