89 Reviews of Grilled Shrimp

From: Kevin Young

On Jul 10, 2005

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

    I'm not one of those who gives their Barbeque to The Salvation Army the day after the Labor Day weekend. So what better way to celebrate a dank and drizzly Winter Solstice than to light off the grill. This Grilled Shrimp was nominated.(It had a short cooking time.I like to grill but there is no sense standing in the rain any longer than necessary.)I used 16-18 count. I find them to be more flavorful than the really large shrimp. I placed all of the marinade in a large Zip-lock bag and shook it to mix. I added the shrimp and carefully turned the bag over several times. (I didn't want to damage these beauties.) I put the bag in the fridge and set the timer for 30 minutes. Every half hour I would gently turn the bag over several times. My lunch guest begged of at the last minute. I decided to save the shrimp cooked and cold rather than take a chance on keeping them raw. They were WONDERFUL, hot for lunch. I over ate. The leftovers I bagged and stowed in the fridge. I had them for dinner cold and they were as good cold as the were hot. This one is most definitely on the list to be repeated often. Thanx

    Add my 5 stars to this one. I made this recipe and used both shrimp and scallops. They were an absolute hit. I did add extra garlia and I used Balsamic Vinegar as well...and the flavors blended very well. Thanks for a definate "keeper" recipe.

    The marinade contains so many of my favorite ingredients--basil, garlic, worcestershire, and hot sauce-- so I had to try these. Definitely a winner. The marinade gave a great zesty flavor. Couldn't believe how easy this was. Thanks Nurse Di for another super recipe.

    WOW!! This was so easy and turned out some of the best grilled shrimp I have every eaten. The marinade was delicious. The basil and garlic are real stand-outs. My husband did the grilling. We will double the recipe next time. Couldn't stop eating these. Thanks.

    I thought I had rated this before. I have made this numerous times and it is out of this world. We had kabobs for labor day and this was served as an appetizer while the other kabobs were grilling. Everyone raved about the wonderful flavor. Thanks.

    This was our lunch today. This was sooooo good. The combination of flavors in the marinade was excellent. Big thumbs up from my family.

    I didn't make this. My sister and I asked her dh to make it for us tonight. It was fabulous! We bought very large shrimp and he made the whole recipe for the 3 of us, and that was a good thing! We ate until we couldn't eat another bite! The marinade is very flavorful. We'll have many repeats on this one. Thanks Nurse Di for another great recipe!
