Everyone said (WOW/Good) I served this at a Xmas dinner buttet. It was a big hit.

My recipe showed NO ingredients! Easy to make, but not so delicious.

I doubled this recipe for our large family. I loved the ease and the taste of this recipe. I will definitely make again.

We enjoyed this very much. Next time I will add a pinch of cayenne for a bit of a kick.

I doubled the marinade mixture, and I used crushed red pepper flakes instead of pepper and I found them a little sweet so next time I will use 2 tbsp. of brown sugar instead of the 3 when I doubled the marinade mixture. I also used 1-1/2 tsp. of fresh minced garlic instead of 2 cloves, thinly sliced. I used 30 large shrimp. They were cooked, so I cut the cooking time in half and took the shell off the tails and put them on soaked skewers.
