Jalapeño Citrus Grilled Shrimp with Natalie's Juice

This jalapeno citrus grilled shrimp is the perfect Game Day appetizer! It's sweet, tangy, a little bit spicy and the best part is its really quick and easy to make! I use Natalie's Juice in the marinade because the juices are always bright and fresh and consist of very minimal ingredients. For the recipe all you have to do is combine the marinade ingredients, pour it over the raw shrimp, let it sit for 30 minutes and the grill them on skewers. The remaining marinade I reduce down on the stove and then pour it right over the shrimp. Its the perfect appetizer that you can eat with one hand while you cheer on your team!
