Took this to a neighborhood block party today and got rave reviews!! <br/>I added chopped mango to stretch it out and took the tails off the shrimp to make it easier to eat while holding a drink.<br/>Thanks Jude!

There aren't enough stars to do justice to this recipe. It is a wonderful slternative to the standard shrimp cocktail. It's a subtle blend of great flavors. It is an easy one to take to parties or potlucks. Just bring the cooked shrimp and the sauce in separate containers and mix together before serving. Thank you for posting this outstanding recipe, Hey Jude!

I made this recipe for my sons wedding reception, such a hit! My husband and I only got to taste them because a friend saved some for us. An absolute treasure of a recipe.
