Lime and chili add a kick that really make this recipe pop. Plus, the grilled peppers are a great way to get my family to eat veggies. —Libby Walp, Chicago, Illinois

The marinade for this recipe is excellent. Next time I plan on using jumbo shrimp to make them a bit juicier as the medium sized shrimp dried out a little on the barbeque.
