I can't believe all the 5 star ratings on this recipe. I guess I am missing something. I thought it was just okay and my husband thought it was bland. The shrimps were really good once I squeezed fresh lemon juice over them but that was not the recipe as written so I won't rate it that way. Those were some really beautiful jumbo shrimps. I wish I had made them with a better recipe.

I thought these were good. For me, they would probably rate 3 stars, but I think that's just because I prefer cilantro rather than basil on shrimp. DH liked these more than I did, though; hence the 4 stars. Don't get me wrong. These are very good. I don't mean to imply otherwise. It's just that, for me, there are other shrimp recipes that I prefer. I didn't realize until I made this recipe that I had a preference for cilantro over other herbs on shrimp, but apparently I do, since most of my favorite shrimp recipes use cilantro. I'm glad I tried this, though.

This recipe ruined an otherwise nice dinner. After eating the shrimp I could not enjoy the steak which we were having with it. I spent too much time being upset I had not shrimp left. This is hands down one of THE BEST recipes I've made not only from Zaar but anywhere. The flavors in the marinade along with the smoke from the grill were nothing short of incredible. I think next time perhaps I may add a bit of lime juice but other than that this recipe is darn near perfection. Thank you Soooo much aside of course from ruining an otherwise perfectly good steak
