In the words of my daughter "Mom, you are killing it with these shrimp!" Yes -- I did that! I grilled the shrimp on skewers (first time to grill this year) and they were restaurant perfect! The spice factor might be a bit higher than I would like - so I did cut the chile in adobe in half. A little bit of that stuff goes along ways! But the flavor - was amazing. I let them marinate for a bit at room temperature - about 20 minutes or so. Not a shrimpy left on the plate! I'm going to pull this one out when the parents come over. -
I served these at my football party too (along with the peanut chicken skewers) and these were gone in minutes. So good, the sweet and spicy combo with the shrimp were outstanding. Thank you for making me look good! -
My daughter made these exactly as is and they will be made agaiin and again and again. Can hardly wait to share with friends - def 5 stars and more!! -
My Grandson and I made these a few weeks ago for his mother's birthday dinner. What a success. <br/><br/>I dislike it when people review a recipe and they've made changes to the original but this time I just have to beg for forgiveness, as we were out of honey and we used maple syrup instead of honey. Sorry!<br/> <br/> These were fabulous and I doubt that I will use any other marinade for grilled kabobs. (Of course, will try the honey next time, as I usually always have some on hand) -
Followed the recipe exactly, except I used the advice of LauraBlueEyes and out them in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes! Perfect!! I also grilled it with pineapple and served it over coconut rice! Delicious!!!

AMAZING!!! I used raw Blue Agave Nectar sweetner instead of honey and green onions instead of cilantro. I cooked them on the stove top and served them over brown rice. SOOOO GOOD! -
Excellent! I made these for a dinner for our new neighbor and we all just loved them. They are so quick to grill and the flavor is is yum-o! I used tiger shrimp and left off the cilantro and used parsley instead. Thanks for posting a keeper!
