Peel the shrimp by making an incision along the back with a paring knife and remove the shell. Then pull the vein out and rinse under cold water. Pat the shrimp dry, then place into the marinade, cover and refrigerate for an hour.
Grill the shrimp for two minutes per side and top while still hot with the salsa verde.
