This recipe was very much enjoyed last evening. I used the broiler method as we have has nothing but dark sky's, chilly wind and rain for the past week. I didn't have shell on so broiled for much shorter time- about half the time given for jumbo shrimp that I have. I didn't change a thing (used momaphet's shorter marinating time) and will recommend this recipe 100%. Simply delicious.

Very tasty, this recipe has great flavors and clear directions! I reduced the servings, and marinated for less time because my shrimp were shell off tail on and the lime juice would have cooked them in the written time. I pan grilled as we are out of gas for the BBQ. I said YES to have an onion with it, and served it with a slice of grilled onion for the Southern US Onion Challenge for Culinary Quest 2014 for team Cruisin' Culinary Queens.

These shrimp were delicious. Tender and oh so flavorful. We really enjoyed our meal. I used large easy peel shrimp that were sliced down the middle and already cleaned. It made this recipe quick and easy to make. Thanks for sharing a dish that we will enjoy again and again. Made for Culinary Quest for the Suitcase Gourmets

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
