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!!!!!!

i cooked these in the broiler of my oven. time was short so i took them out a little too soon. they were good but think they would have been better with a little browning or on the bbq pit.

Easy and delicious. I used low-fat Italian dressing and grilled them indoors. I heated and served the extra marinade sauce at the table for added flavor.
