"Awesome and so easy.. omitted the sugar and used only shrimp. Was out of this world and got rave reviews from my date. Will definitely make this again and again!"

"Wonderful marinade! I used a chili garlic sauce so the result wasn't spicy at all, but the flavor was still great. I need to work on my grilling technique (yes, I overcooked the kebabs) but the shrimps and scallops still tasted wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe!"

"Very good recipe for scallops and shrimp. Best of all, I have plenty of leftover grilled shrimp and scallops to sprinkle over salads! I also omitted the sugar, since there was enough in the other ingredients. Very quick to put together, which is a definite plus! I made this after work with no problem."

"You've done it again Teresa! This is a very VERY good recipe with a mix of sauces & spices I'd never have thought to add to shrimp or scallops. It was good with the shrimp but it took our northern Atlantic scallops to a new level. Yes, the ones we have up here are large and tender but they tend to be on the sweet side, almost overpoweringly so - this took care of that and let the real flavour of the scallops shine through. YUMMY! The only change I made was to omit the sugar - this recipe does not need it. Plus it's so easy - threw it together after working all day. Thank you for yet another great meal!"
