Great tasting recipe. Nice and garlicky. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Absolutely wonderful! I made half the recipe to serve alongside steak. I used 1 tsp dried basil and 2 tsp dried parsley since I did not have fresh spices. It was still awesome. Only problem now is that the kids are starting to enjoy seafood so we have to share - dang it!

i had to use dry parsley and basil ( i know sorry!!!) but that's all i had on hand. i also had to pan fry it since i have no grill. i think pan frying it was a mistake or maybe the fact that i threw everything into the pan including the marinade because it turned out too salty even tho i followed the salt part exactly. great flavor but i know the salty part is because of the marinade being thrown in w/ the shrimp into the pan. so lesson learned next time i'll just discard the marinade before throwing it into the pan. can't wait to try it w/ the fresh ingredients. but this will definately go into my favorites.

Fantastic! So easy and so delicious. The shrimp were plump, juicy and flavourful. Marinated them for 24 hours in the fridge. Would not change a thing in the recipe. The flavours were perfectly balanced. This is now our favourite grilled shrimp dish. Thanks for a great recipe!

A warm spring evening, a giant tossed salad with all of the trimmings, topped off with grilled shrimp. The perfect lite meal. I did not change a thing, why 'mess with a good thing'?

Greeting from South Bend, Indiana (home of Notre Dame and the Studebaker). My Grandmother got me interested in cooking at a young age. On my own, I would have cooked a lot more, but cooking for one was always such a hassle. Now that I am married, my husband enjoys the home-cooked dishes. Some hobbies of mine include: scrapbooking, photography and many activites outdoors (golfing, camping, hiking and beach volleyball), surfing the internet, and browsing through cookbooks of course! <br> <br>NEW INFO: My DH and I had a baby girl in February.
