Cook's Note
Serving idea: Squeeze lime wedges over shrimp, and serve with cold beer.
Love, love, love this recipe!! I cooked the shrimp over very high heat at the end giving the jalapeno and garlic a real nice crisp. Even my nine year old, who is a VERY picky eater, couldn't get enough of the shrimp! No one could believe that there wasn't any butter in this recipe... so DELISH!!!
