We loved this shrimp dish! So tasty and the dipping sauce just puts the perfect finishing touch. I threaded and brushed my shrimp with the butter sauce about an hour before broiling and they waited in the fridge. I served this with brown rice, fresh green beans, and leftover sweet potato bake. In fact, after the shrimp were inhaled, some of us topped our rice with the herbed mayo and it tasted marvelous. Thanks for posting this hit!
