This s one of the better shrimp recipes for the grill I have tasted. Tweeking a recipe is something we can all do. If you find an ingredient that doesn't suit you, take it out. My children and now my grandchildren cook with me. The day we stop learning on how to do things, is the day we die. Keep up the good work Pat and Gina. I have been a chef for over thirty years and I always find your recipes to be delicious.

This was easy to prepare and simply delicious. Every one raved about the BBQ sauce. It was simple and yet not overpowering I would recommend it to my friends and family. I love how a couple can have so much fun cooking together. My husband just gets in my way. Go Gina
