These are so fabulous! My husband’s exact words were, “I feel like I’m at a restaurant.” He loved them…and he helped grill them too!
We made these shrimp last Saturday night. They were so good. It was such a great grilling recipe. They are perfect as a main dish or as an appetizer. Shrimp cook very quickly too, so it doesn’t take long to enjoy these. We ate them with some grilled corn on the cob. DELISH!
