These are Brads favorite. I got the recipe several years ago from my friend Tasha and Brad has grilled them MANY times since! I don't do sea food, but everyone who's a sea food fan and tries these goes crazy for them. Brad will eat the whole pound of shrimp himself, but the recipe says it's 6 servings, making it about $1.00 per serving... not to shabby for sea food! If you love shrimp, you will not be disappointed (take it from Brad). He says they're sweet and spicy and incredible. I thought there was going to be a fight at the table tonight because Sophie decided she loves them too. Brad isn't use to sharing!
