Can shrimp be ruined if they are allowed to brine for too long?

I am going to brine some shrimp later and suggestions i have seen say to brine for 30 minutes at room temperature. Problem is, I want to prepare them and put them in some tupperware for transport to a friend’s bbq. If I leave them in the brine after i clean them and just stick the containers in the fridge after 30 minutes at room temp, will sitting in there too long break down the shrimp meat?
