These shrimp are marinated in flavorful spiced orange marinade. The secret is to let them spend enough time in the marinade to pick up the heat from the Jalapeno Peppers.

Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place shrimp in a large zip-top bag. Pour marinade over top. Seal and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat grill.
