I know what's missing...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

...depending on your taste, I doubled the ketchup, added a couple of pinches of cayenne, a tbsp of molasses and 1/4 c jack... daniels it's wonderful. I agree with the other reviews (you should cook it down so that it reduces and thickens).Read more

Really Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We really liked this and will be making again. Next time I might marinate longer and/or take the advice about reducing the... marinade, because I found myself wanting more of the marinade flavor.Read more

The Sauce is Amazing!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't attest to the shrimp, but the sauce recipe is absolutely fantastic when reduced to a consistency like that of regular... bbq sauce. It has become a staple dipping sauce with my coconut shrimp. I can't imagine it would be very appetizing in it's watery state, so I would recommend doubling it, then reducing it over medium heat until thickened before using it as a marinade. I also recommend adding a dash of onion powder as well as sauteeing some minced garlic in a bit of olive oil before adding the sauce to it to reduce. Very tasty!!!Read more

Very quick!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was a great meal to make when you don't have much time - super quick and easy. I had everything on hand and threw it... togetherand within about 15 minutes my husband and I were sitting down eating. The shrimp were very tasty but the meal definitely left me wanting more. I served with steam asparagus but would probably add something a bit more substantial next time I make this. Read more

Tasty barbecue shrimp
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The shrimp were delicious! The barbecue sauce was out of this world. I doubled the barbecue sauce recipe and reserved half,... reduced in a pan while the shrimp were grilling and served as a dipping sauce. Awesome and easy!!!Read more
