This has great flavor. I substituted lemon for lime because I personally prefer the flavor of lemon, and it tasted great. My only suggestion is that it seems like it should be on a salad or in pasta or something. I guess its good as an appetizer as well.

A snap to make and it presents beautifully. I will definitely make a double batch next time though, the 2 lbs went too quickly!!

I added some honey to balance out the heat and I also added chopped red and yellow peppers just to make it more colorful. I'm making it again tonight for a cookout tomorrow. But I think I'll add some diced pineapple and I'll buy the medium shrimp this time and remove the tails so it can be eaten with a fork. Thanks for the recipe!

Great easy recipe - nice change from shrimp cocktail. I made the marinade a couple of hours before I threw in the shrimp. I doubled it and let the shimp sit for 4+ hours. The next day we reheated the shrimp and ate them with angel hair pasta.

I didn't enjoy this receipe at all. I couldn't find any fresh cilantro so used some dried. That did not work because I could barely taste it (unlike comments from other reviewers. The other flavours just didn't work together for me. I wondered if lemon might work better than lime.

This was really terrible. I couldn't taste that it was shrimp at all. I will never make this again.

These are good but they need a little something. Maybe more sugar?

Note to self: 2 tablespoons ground ginger does not = 2 tablespoons grated fresh giner. OMG was this HOT!!!! LOL! Right after dinner I was running for the Tums. I will definitley make this again with scaling down the ground ginger. I didn't have any soy so I used a touch of terriyaki sauce. I'm ready to try this recipe again w/correct ingredients and measurements!

This is terrific and so easy. Works fine with dried cilantro and ginger if you don't have fresh.

This was a wonderful, quick and easy appetizer. We purchased the large cooked deveined with tails on shrimp in a bag and poured the marinade directly into the recloseable bags that the shrimp came in. Very good reviews!

This was the first time I used fresh cilantro and I discovered I'm one of those who don't care for it. Since that's a problem with my taste and not the recipe, I'm still giving it 5 stars because other than the cilantro, it was excellent. Lots of flavor, a little zip, and it's a very pleasant summer dish. I served it on a bed of baby greens.

Not sure what I did wrong- I used cooked shrimp & let it sit in the marinade for about 4 hours before serving... it made the shrimp very mushy on the outside, I really did not like the texture. I did like the flavor though, I think I'd try it as a marinade for raw shrimp & then cook them!

This is such a great recipe! I have been making it for several years and am finally posting a review. I make it for both winter and summer holidays, and it is always a hit, never any left overs! We like things a little spicy, so I usually double the red pepper flakes, but otherwise leave this recipe as is. Thanks, Sue!

I was disappointed with this recipe. The lime in the marinade completely overpowered all of the other flavors in the dish. My husband, who loves shrimp, thought it was awful.

Don't get me wrong I liked this recipe but I served it at a party and at the end of the night it was still there. It's not a WOW recipe. I don't think I will make it again.

I am not a shrimp lover. But I found this recipe very good to hide the shrimp taste. The marinade is outstanding. I have tried it with other meats as well. Two thumbs way up!
