Very good....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I took the advice and added more jalapeno to the butter, also reserved a few tablespoons to melt and drizzle over just before... serving. I did not bother with the olive oil on the veggies-just brushed with the butter during grilling. Both my husband and I thought this was quite good and will certainly make it again. It is a keeper for us!Read more

Yum!

The butter was a little hard to spread while cooking, but I spread it on after they came off the grill and were still warm,... and they were delicious!Read more

Great hit at my football party.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I served these along with some steak kabobs at a college football party. It was nice to make them in advance and cook them... up quickly at halftime. They were awesome! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I couldn't really taste the Jalapeno butter. And I made a double batch and used A LOT. I was dissapointed because everyone said they like it so much, but it didn't really add all that much flavor. The mango was awesome, and the limes make the kabobs look great. I think next time I will try marinating the shrimp with some garlic for added flavor.Read more

I fixed these one evening when some friends and I got together and everyone raved about them. I use the jalapeno butter just... about everytime I grill.Read more
