I wasn't a fan of this recipe...it's nothing fancy. Plus, I have a hard time cooking shrimp on the grill...the shrimp on the end burn and the ones in the middle are underdone.11/05/09

Served with a green salad and grilled corn with lime butter (Cooking Light July 2002). very good, quick. I bought pineapple chunks from the salad bar in the market. Our shrimp may have been smaller, will cook them a few minutes less next time but they were delicious.08/05/09
