I was not that crazy about this recipe. The flavor was OK, but the shrimp were very dry. The marinade would be better with the addition of some oil, plus they wouldn't stick to the grill!04/24/09

I made this for a cookout for about 20 folks and it was a hit! This is fast, easy and very summery - before I got them off the grill, they were gone! Very flavorful and a great appetizer. I love this recipe and I will be making it again.06/17/06
