I've never really been a big fan of shrimp until I made this recipe...I think I ate them almost all myself! Looking forward to grilling season so I can make them again (and again and again), also plan to try it with chicken.

This was an easy recipe with great results. Everyone loved this shrimp and it was gone in mins. This was easy enough to make on a weeknight and tasty enough to make for a party. Perfect for summer grilling.

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!

I made this recipe last night and OMG, the shrimp were awesome! My bf and I ate a pound of shrimp between the two of us. I cut the recipe in half and just made a pound. Tasted like restaurant-quality cooking and I would definitely make this for company. Thank you for sharing!!

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
