To prepare the marinade/dip

  2. Slowly add enough orange juice until the puree reaches the consistency of salad dressing.Set about half aside as a dipping sauce if you prefer.
  3. Marinate uncooked shelled shrimp in the mango orange mixture for only about 20 minutes before grilling them over medium heat for only a minute or two per side, depending on the size of your shrimp.
  4. Season them lightly with slat while they are on the grill as well.
