I came up with this recipe when my daughter grew a beautiful jalapeno plant last summer. I already had cilantro in the garden, so it seemed like a great combination for a tasty sauce. —Elizabeth Lubin, Huntington Beach, California

I made this dish for Easter brunch. My family loved it. No changes.

Tasted OK, but too much work for too little flavor.

this has become a family favorite. I have used the marinade on scallops and chicken as well as the shrimp.

The sauce was a little too spicy, but over all it was delicious.

Makes a tasty and healthy dinner. The cilantro was a little overwhelming, so I'm going to tone it down the next time I make this. Served with a salad and coconut rice.

Best shrimp recipe yet, and I've made it a lot of different ways. Of course the cilantro dipping sauce was the cherry on top!
