"Excellent... to be honest, I don't remember them, but trust my notes! I made these from the June/July 2006 Taste of Home Magazine. Excited to try them again."
"Excellent. My husband said he could eat these every night."
"A very delicious meal!!! My shrimp were a little small so I put them in a grill basket instead of skewers. The spicy butter was so good I was wanting to dip everything on my plate in it!!
Field Editor since 2013""Delicious summer recipe! I served this with the Ribboned vegetables in the same issue and cheese bread."
"Since my mother thought we didn't have cajun seasoning we used carribean jerk seasoning instead and it was great. We still use the jerk seasoning every time. I would also recommend marinating longer than the given time. They are a lot juicer then."
"My go to tailgate food!"
