"I suggest to use fresh shrimp for this as frozen thawed will create a watery marinade, do not marinade for longer than 2 hours or the acid in the lemon juice will "cook" the shrimp, adjust the cayenne to suit heat level, I have left the Tabasco as optional you may add it or omit. Use very large shrimp for this "
