If I could give it more I would. Excelent taste Messy but oh so good. Next time I will take the skins off before to see if it makes any difference. Made for zwt6 for the Xrtra hot dishes

I served these wonderful little gems as an appetizer for our neighbors. Actually, I made the marinade the night before, then added the shrimp about 40 minutes before grilling them. My guests devoured them!!! Thanks for much for sharing, Scoutie.

These were good, but the soy and shrimp were not my favorite flavor combination. I reduced the recipe down to a single serving and made as stated except that my shrimp had been peeled and I pan grilled as our weather wasn't the best for outdoors cooking. I liked the lime and garlic, so given the other reviews, might try this again with less soy sauce, and on the grill, to see if it would be more to my taste. Thanks for sharing Scoutie.
