We had a Mothers Day Shrimp on the grill cookoff, and everyone made a different recipe. This was the overall winner. Wonderful flavor. Easy to make. Will be making again and again!

This was really good, especially the sauce, which I reduced to a syrup, yummy! I made this with chicken, since that is what we had and also used green tea. I only used half of the liquid as marinade/sauce, and froze the other half for later use (it makes a lot).

I cut this recipe out of the Orlando Sentinel quite a while ago. It's incredible! I used Good Earth Original Sweet & Spicy tea.
