Love shrimp. I will be making this for sure.
I love shrimp when I go out to restaurants, but have never tried cooking it at home. My parents never ate sea food so it’s a learning experience for me. This looks easy enough for me to try! Thank you
That is such an interesting marinade! Will have to try it with tofu 🙂
I am in love with shrimp, any kind of shrimp. I want to make these so bad! They look delicious!

It looks divine and that glaze makes it an inviting treat to enjoy in the warm weather. Delish!
