We love seafood too and my husband requested some kind of grilled fish for Father's Day and this is what we made. I reduced the amount of oil in the marinade to about 3/4 cup and the amount of butter to less than 1/4 pound and it was plenty to give a great flavor to everything. This is a fantastic recipe and everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing. Sorry, we ate everything so quickly no time to snap a photo!

Boy I hate myself for this review, but it was a deaster for us. I followed the recipe to a T except marinated the sea food longer, about 4 hours. We have cooked shrimp and scallops on the grill before, so I'm not sure what happened to this tonight. We always spray our grill to prevent sticking, but it just didn't help tonight. All of the sea food stuck, and most of the scallops fell through the grate. Next time I'll grill this in my grill basket and I think it will work well. The butter makes this flare up quite a bit too. Saying all that, the flavor was awesome. Something I'll prepare again, but grill in a different way. Thanks BK

This was a great grilling recipe! I did not have the honey so I did use sugar instead. I cut it to 2 teaspoons of sugar. We all loved this! Thanks Baby Kato
