I have made this shrimp at least 20 times because I get rave reviews from everyone who tries it! I don't adjust anything in the recipe except I use more garlic and for the dressing its too salty for me so I use half of the required amount. I let my shrimp marinate all day and its amazing on rice! Unless the shrimp gets a little dry, you really don't need the dressing unless you are putting over rice and its really nice to drizzle a bit over it. It would be nice on a salad too with the shrimp. Its a top request any time I'm entertaining!
