Made a lovely dinner of this, paired with baked potatoes, green beans, and wine. If you live where you can get giant Florida Avocados (instead of the little Hass ones), I would do that. <br/><br/>I gave up on butterflying the shrimp quickly, but the recipe is very good with non-sliced shrimp, too. (I just told my beau to *imagine* that the shrimp look like little hearts.) I couldn't get raspberry vinegar at my local store, so I used raspberry vinagrette instead, and it turned out great. Also, using seedless strawberry jam meant I did not need to strain the sauce at all. Prepping the ginger mix ahead of time was a good choice, as this recipe was, for me, start to finish about 45 mins.
