Grilled Quick-Brined Jumbo Shrimp Recipe

In a large bowl, combine the water, salt, and sugar, stirring to dissolve the salt. Using a paring knife or scissors, slit each shrimp down the back through the shell; remove the dark veins.

Grill the shrimp over moderately high heat, turning once, until the shells are lightly charred and the shrimp are just cooked through, which will be about 5 minutes.
