It doesn't get any quicker, easier and tasier than this! I made this exactly as written (except for the minor change below), using locally made honey from a nature center near our house, which was kind of fun! The only change I made was, instead of using a broiler pan, I lined a shallow, heat-proof, pan with that fancy non-stick foil and just dumped the shrimp in there and broiled it right in that pan....saved some cleanup! VERY good and we'll definitely be making this again. When the husband keeps talking about it a day later (good talk), you know it's good! Thanks Amy!
