This recipe was good. But it didn't wow me with flavor and no one else in my family thought it was ridiculously amazing either. But it's a good, simple recipe that I would probably use again, maybe without the italian dressing.

I love shrimp and so does my cousin so I am always on the hunt for ways to dress it up. This was perfect. It is super yummy and glazes so well to the shrimp. This is definitely something I will be making all summer.

We both thought it very good and will make it again soon. Believe we'll add a bit of Cayenne pepper in the marinade. We like our food a bit snappy.

I have made these four times already and LOVE this recipe! I have also added a small pinch of red pepper flakes to them for a little heat! This is a family favorite!

So so good! I tried it with chicken and shrimp. The shrimp was delicious and the chicken was just okay.
