Reviews
second time i’ve made – second time that it was clearly the winner. This time replaced the pineapple with rose’s lime juice and spritzed some fresh lime juice on it 20 minutes prior to cooking. delicious.
I love this recipe! I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars just because I usually have to clean a whole lot of shrimp to make it, but it’s worth it.
I just made these to serve along Bobby Flay’s fish tacos for a dinner party and my guests absolutely enjoyed them. They were so fantastic that I am making them again for a weekend BBQ.
This is perfect for grilling on a hot
summer day. I will be making this again.

I made this for a small family gathering for the 4th and everyone loved it! The marinade is great (especially liked the cilantro in it). Will definitely serve this one again.
I just made this for my 4th of July BBQ, and EVERYONE loved it! My brother-in-law said it was the best shrimp he had eaten ever!! I would definately make it again – it was crispy, but not dry, and had plenty of flavor!
