I love the flavors of garlic and lime with shrimp, but the Worcestershire really threw this off for me. The kids did not like it either. DH ate without complaint, but didn't ask for more. I normally love Wor. sauce, but I guess more for red meats rather than seafood.

These were some of the best shrimp i ever made! fantastic caribbean flavors, my side with it was a lime and cilantro rice that was a great complement to them

Delightful, the ramped-up scampi sauce is scrumptious, not very spicy, but the lime zest sets it apart. I'm on WW, so I was able to limit how much sauce I ate, while DH made sure he had as much as he could possibly desire. Served with Recipe #304007 #304007 as a perfect side. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Lorrie! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

I loved the flavors going on in these shrimp! I made Lemon Rice Pilaf and Coleslaw as the sides. I can see me making these many many times, as I just loved them so much! Thank you for sharing it with us Lorrie! Made for 123 Hit Wonders 3/09 Linda

Simply delicious. We enjoyed all the subtle flavours. I did add some fresh broccoli just before the shrimp was done. It was a great addition. This is a keeper for sure. Made for 123 Hits.
