The recipe is supurb! My daughter loves shrimp, but isn't big on marinades, sauces, or condiments. I just didn't tell her! We halved the recipe; she ate all but my 2 skewers!

very easy and wonderful flavor. Too much for just the two of us so refrigerated 1/2 over night and the flavor was even better the next day. hubby thought it was a little to sweet so might just cut back on the honey. will definitly make again. Thanks!

This is an excellent recipe, My son said that was the best shrimp he has eaten, my husband said it was wonderful! This is the only way to grill shrimp at our house from now on, easy and ingredients are staples in our pantry. I am also going to try it with chicken as we grill quite often. Thanks for a great recipe!

My husband raved about this shrimp and said it was some of the best shrimp he'd ever eaten. He basted the shrimp frequently as he grilled them and the marinade stayed on the shrimp. I used a light Italian dressing and may try it with a fat-free Italian dressing next time.

We did these on the Weber and they turned out great. This recipe sounded good in print but it was even better right from the grill. This one is a keeper and will going in "fron the grill" collection of recipes. Another great from ToH! JAF

Living in Phoenix, I am always looking for simple summer recipes which can be prepared on the grill so i don't heat up my house. This shrimp is a winner all the way around. Everyone, including my kids, LOVE this and I have shared the recipe with everyone I can think of. I have served it with pasta, salad, rice and even steaks. Perfect poolside food.

I eat a lot of sea food being from the west coast of Florida. We have tried numerous shrimp recipes. None have compared to the Honey Grilled Shrimp. I did add a few ingredients however. I added a teaspoon of tabasco sauce, a bit more garlic, a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and a few springles of Mrs. Dash's onion and herb spice. Then followed the rest of the recipe. These shrimp were absolutely the most delious shrimp I have ever eaten. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
