The sauce was great! The shrimp and rice were a good mix, but I feel this sauce can be used in some many other dishes. Worth a try.
Brianna Mills
Not very flavorful.

…depending on your taste, I doubled the ketchup, added a couple of pinches of cayenne, a tbsp of molasses and 1/4 c jack daniels it’s wonderful. I agree with the other reviews (you should cook it down so that it reduces and thickens).
Rachel Kramer
We really liked this and will be making again. Next time I might marinate longer and/or take the advice about reducing the marinade, because I found myself wanting more of the marinade flavor.
Matthew Davis
I can’t attest to the shrimp, but the sauce recipe is absolutely fantastic when reduced to a consistency like that of regular bbq sauce. It has become a staple dipping sauce with my coconut shrimp. I can’t imagine it would be very appetizing in it’s watery state, so I would recommend doubling it, then reducing it over medium heat until thickened before using it as a marinade. I also recommend adding a dash of onion powder as well as sauteeing some minced garlic in a bit of olive oil before adding the sauce to it to reduce. Very tasty!!!

This was a great meal to make when you don’t have much time – super quick and easy. I had everything on hand and threw it togetherand within about 15 minutes my husband and I were sitting down eating. The shrimp were very tasty but the meal definitely left me wanting more. I served with steam asparagus but would probably add something a bit more substantial next time I make this.

This is a good base it just seems like it is lacking something. Super easy to make.

The shrimp were delicious! The barbecue sauce was out of this world. I doubled the barbecue sauce recipe and reserved half, reduced in a pan while the shrimp were grilling and served as a dipping sauce. Awesome and easy!!!
