Fast, easy and delicious!!! I had some tequila to use...limes that I had frozen so this recipe was the perfect choice. I didn't have any jalapenos, so I used some hot sauce. I would definately use this one again. Thanks for sharing!!

I LOVE this recipe. It's easy, fast, delicious and simple. I had everything done in less than 15 minutes, start to finish, including cleaning. My son liked the sauce so much he wanted it on his pasta, with no shrimp. We are not shrimp fans normally but this is a good shrimp dish. Next time I will add some fresh grated ginger because I think it would go well with this dish. Thank you.

This was very easy. Though, it did not have as much flavor as I expected. I sauteed mushrooms and leeks, removed them from the pan, then added them back in when the shrimp were done to have a few veggies. Served over rice.

This is a great recipe...delicious, quick and easy. There's no way it took me 25 minutes to prep and cook - I had this on the table in 10 minutes! Like Bobo, I used Tabasco jalapeno sauce because I forgot to buy a jalapeno pepper. My husband and I really enjoyed this! Thanks Molly!
