We watched these being cooked right by our table while in Huatulco. The smell when the marinade was brushed on the jumbo shrimp while on the grill filled the air - so good! This is our version. Enjoy! **Preparation time includes 30 minute marinading time (****edit June 25/07 - it was suggested that lime juice would be good instead of lemon juice so I tried it out and I prefer it that way. Thank you for that!)

I can't help but give this recipe 5 stars, it is really amazing. It turned out a little too spicy for some of our guests but it was perfect for me. I'm making it again this weekend for some people who can't tolerate even the slightest bit of heat, so I'm going to make up two different batches-- one without any red pepper and one with a whole lot of it-- and I have a feeling that both will be great. I found the quantity of marinade a little skimpy so I'll make double the amount to be sure that there is plenty for basting. Thanks for sharing!

No question that this is a 5 star recipe! Wonderful flavor accents. Follow the instructions and only marinate them for 1/2 hour - otherwise the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp and they could get a bit tough. I broiled the skewers so there was a lot of the marinade left on them. It browned very nicely - This is a definite do again recipe. The shrimp will make great appetizers each on a toothpick Thanks BC for an enjoyable Sunday dinner

Oh! Wow! This is an explosion of spices in your mouth. But to finish it off you get a nice tang of lime. Oh! by the way! I used the lime. Can't wait to try it with the lemon to see which is the best. I also doubled the red pepper flakes. We like it hot! This is so easy to make and cooks up quick on the BBQ. Thanks for posting.
