These shrimp were a HUGE hit! I served 5 pounds of them for 15 people, and they were gone in a flash. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone. Thank you for sharing.

We had this for dinner the other night. Stellar shrimp. We were so full afterwards because DH and I ate the whole thing by ourselves (of course, he ate more than I). Simple marinade to put together and I let the shrimp sit for just over an hour. This is going into our keepers for sure.

The flavor is sooooo good! I loved these. Generally I hate to grill shrimp because of all the trouble skewering, then trying to turn the skewers on the grill within just a couple minutes of arranging them all on the grill, and then that peeling before you can eat them - but, that being said - it is all worth the taste of these wonderful shrimp, and I'll do it again!

These were absolutely delicious!! I used both the fresh parsley and thyme and doubled the garlic to 6 cloves. Also, I added 1 tsp. cajun/creole seasoning and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. My family devoured these and gave them 2 HUGE thumbs up!! Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe...it is definitely a keeper!!
