I came home to a delicious dinner made by my sweet hubby! My husband did the marinade on fresh wild-caught Rock Shrimp from the coast of Florida and even though the thyme was left out because he didn't know what "Thime" was (hehe) or whether we had it, this shrimp was AWESOME! Delicious flavor. We had it over an iceberg lettuce salad with pecans and the shrimp stole the show. The orange zest really pops and is great with this sweeter type shrimp. We will definitely make this again!

Yum! This was really delicious and my two young boys gobbled it up. The only change I made was I added one small clove of minced garlic to the sauce as it seemed a little bland when I made it as stated. I marinated the shrimp for about an hour and a half. I will definitely be making this again!!

We just made this over the weekend for my husband's relatives - we made, but forgot to serve the dipping sauce (oops) - but boy, was this a hit! It was so refreshing to have this after sitting on the patio on a hot. humid NE Sunday afternoon - it was great!
