This was so delicious. I did not change a thing. I made this for a dinner party and everyone raved about how flavorful the shrimp was. I wish I could give this recipe 6 stars - 07 Nov 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Easy and tasty, but I made it in the oven so it was probably not as good as it would have been on the grill! Keep for summer time... - 08 Dec 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Tried the glaze on Mahi Mahi and baked it (poured 1/2 the glaze on top) - delicious... saved 1/2 the glaze, heated it until thick and bubbly, and poured over mahi when serving. This is a keeper for sure! - 25 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
