Made this for dinner last night and it was great! We wanted something other than shrimp and pasta, or shrimp scampi. This recipe was so easy and my husband & I loved it! I added onion, cherry tomatoes and green & red peppers to the skewers. We live in an apartment and can't grill so I put them in the broiler. Nice change from our usual shrimp meals!

Absolutely delicious, and so different. Everyone loved them, served alongside a nice steak. Some of the bread coating did come off when I was handling the shrimp to thread them on the skewers. I guess that's sort of unavoidable. A little more came off on the grill, but enough remained to impart the lovely Mediterranean flavor! Perhaps next time, I will refrigerate them even longer. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

This is a wonderful recipe! The crumbs did fall off some, but it could be because I used Panko crumbs. Will definitely make them again and try regular bread crumbs to see if that works better. Served on skewers along with sliced rib eye steaks for a superb meal. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.
