I made half the amount of marinade for just two servings of shrimp. I wanted to have a little extra for basting some veggie kabobs we grilled along with this. I did make some changes. I halved the sesame oil, skipped the parsley (didn’t have any), used one large clove of garlic, and left the lemon juice out. I was very unsure as to which type of Asian chile paste the recipe was referring to, so I used Sriracha and used 2 T. We liked this, but it didn’t have the pizzazz I was expecting, probably due to my choice of Sriracha sauce. I might try this again, but will use a Thai chili garlic paste I have on hand. I’ll definitely have to reduce the amount though, because that stuff’s really hot!

Fantastic! I used 1 TBSP of hot sauce because I wanted my kids to eat them. Otherwise I would have used 2.

Good but not 5 stars good. Used chile garlic sauce in place of the paste as that is what I had. I had to use dried parsley. Might try again with fresh parsley. Probably worthy of a second try.

I sauteed the shrimp in a skillet and served over salad with the cooked marinade as dressing. I only had about an hour to marinade so I used the full amount of hot sauce despite other reviewers commenting that it was a little too spicy. This came together quickly, everyone loved it, and clean up was a breeze. I can't wait to make this again on the grill!

Amazing is right! Cut back on the sesame oil, and used cilantro instead of parsley (hate parsley). Used sriracha for the hot sauce, and kinda wished I'd used lime juice instead of lemon - will do that next time. Marinated for 12 hours which was perfect for us - imparted tons of flavor, and a really nice spicy kick. Thanks for an easy but super flavorsome recipe, Pat!

Wonderful marinade, not too spicy for my wimpy husband. I did use my sweeter chili sauce, I didn't add a whole 1/4 cup of sesame oil, that stuff is pretty strong flavored and expensive, so I just put in enough for the flavoring. The marinade tasted so good that we made more and used it for our vegetables we were grilling also.

Highly recommended! We made the recipe exactly as it reads and they were by the far one of the best grilled shrimp we've ever had!

Amazing, everyone that tries these says it the best shrimp they ever had. I didn't use chile paste, cut the salt in half, as well as the olive oil and used sriracha for the hot sauce

very good if you like some heat! This was perfect for my hubby and I who like the heat, but I will have to use less hot sauce next time for th kiddos. Very nice flavor though. I grilled mine in a grill pan with some snow peas, green beans, onion and pepper and served over brown rice for a nice tastey but healthy dinner
