These shrimp were quick and easy to prepare. The flavor was good, maybe a little spicier than what I anticipated, so be careful.

Perfection. Following another reviewer, I used crushed red pepper as well. The DH was in heaven and we've had it twice in ONE WEEK! Again - perfection. Great for a "different" shrimp recipe!

Very good...I used crushed red pepper flakes instead of the cayenne and I grilled the shrimp. I didn't think these were all that spicy until I ate the leftovers the next day. They left a tingle on the tongue. Another delicious way to cook shrimp!

Easy and great tasting. Loved the sweet/spicy combination. However, I would tone down the pepper next time.

Husband and I love shrimp and are always looking for new and easy ways to prepare it. We both loved this recipe. It was easy, the spices gave it such a tropical flare. I did use 1 t. salt mainly per husband's request. Kyle, thanks for sharing this. Delicious.
