Tried it once, Ed. Most of the grilled flavor comes from
drippings hitting the coals then smoking the food above. Shrimp
don't drip so why grill them? I prefer a shrimp boil or just
butterfly them and quickly cook in a frying pan with oil and
garlic.

Sure, that's good, but sometimes I like to try different.

It is a quick and easy way to cook really good shrimp. My introduction
to shrimp, back in the days when they were very expensive here, was deep
fried. Then I discovered boiled shrimp. I later learned how to fry them
and, better yet, to grill them. Boiled shrimp are pretty bland. I much
prefer them grilled.

Dry tends to concentrate the flavor. Boiling leaches the shrimp flavor
out into the water.
