Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade in a small bowl and set aside for basting. Add the shrimp to the remaining marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Do not marinate longer than 1 hour, as the acid will begin to break down the shrimp's texture.
