It was ok, nothing spectacular. It was a little too sweet for my family.

Super tasty! We addded it to a ceasar salad. Next time, we're going to add some red pepper flakes to the recipe for a little zip.

Haven't tried this yet, but I will. I will use the low cal salad dressing and less of the marinade so there is more for dipping.

Honey grilled shrimp is a simple, easy meal to make and one we'd make only when my third son is not home, as he's deathly allergic to seafood. It's very good though, and definitely a keeper.

This recipe is so super simple you can't not try it. I found the sauce very tasty, but shrimp is not the most flavor absorbing meat to marinate. So, when grilling, even though I basted with the sauce constantly, I didn't get "enough" of the sauce flavor to stick. Don't waste the extra marinade sauce. Heat to a boil to kill any bacteria and then serve over the shrimp after. Might be a good idea to saute the shrimp on the stove top in the sauce to get it to cling better. Really good over all!
