I make this all the time and it is a huge crowd pleaser, I even have friends ask if I'm making it when they come for dinner! I use peeled shrimp (less mess, same flavor) and serve it with cheese grits and french bread. Never disappoints!

To make cleanup easier, bake in a disposable foil pan. If you transport the lemon wedges in the marinade, it's okay to bake them with the shrimp.
