I really enojyed this recipe! Next time I make it I will marinade it a little longer. I could taste the flavor, but only a little. While I love the flavor of shrimp, I would have loved it if I could taste the marinade more. Once I skewered the shrimp I rubbed the leftover marinade on the skewers, I didn't have the heart to toss all that wonderful marinade. Will make this one again!

I used Dijon mustard in this recipe. The shrimp came out perfectly moist. The taste was exceptional. I will definitely be making this over and over again.

Fantastic! I used stone ground mustard and "Can't believe it's not Butter" and it was wonderful!

One of the best grilled shrimps I've ever had. My Husband and Son ate it all up and wanted more. This will end up being a summer staple around our house.

This was an excellent recipe. We grow our own basil so we had plenty for the recipe. Our friends loved it and took the recipe home with them.

This is so yummy! The only change I made was to use dijon mustard instead of spicy brown...other than that I followed the recipe exactly. At first the marinade smelled really strong of mustard, but it was not overpowering in the end result at all. The balance of flavors was so delicious. I was concerned because previous reviewers stated the flavor was lacking, but I thought the flavor was superb..it didn't need any additions or tweaking. My husband raved about it, and we both gobbled it up! I've been looking for a really good grilled shrimp recipe, and I've finally found it, Thanks!

My family loved this recipe. I marinated it for about an hour and it was perfect! I will be making it again very soon!

This was a very good and flavorful recipe. I must have imagined or dreamed that my basil plant came back to life after the winter -- it didn't so I ended up having to use a dried italian seasoning blend (basil, oregano), and it worked just great. This was a real hit with the kids. We served the shrimp skewers with buttered garlic noodles and a green salad.

It was ok, not great. It just didn't have enough flavor for me and my husband, although my daughter loved it. Will try again, used Dijon, will try the mustard suggested. Not bad, just not as I had hoped

I used this for some frozen Mahi Mahi I had in the freezer. It was really good with fish too. I would go with the other suggestions and scale back on the mustard. I like a mustard tang but the amount here is too over-powering. I will use this one again though.

I don't know what I did...not what I had hoped for. Flavor was lacking. I imagine the taste would have been better simmered in a pan, that is what I will try next time.

I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe. I really didn't like the smell of the marinade,and didn't think I would like the finished product. I'm glad I saw it through, though, because the end result was really good. I couldn't find brown mustard, so I used a grey dijon. I also used sea salt. I fried instead of grilled. I would make this again.

My son's favorite food is shrimp and when I made this for his 7th birthday last night, he said it was the best shrimp ever. I thought it was pretty good too. :)

YUM. I don't make seafood that often, but this recipe makes me want to start! It's super easy, I just threw all the ingredients into a ziplog bag and shook it up really well. I let it marinade for about 2 hours before skewering and then grilling. I also used the jumbo prawns as it seems like they would work better for skewering, but this added to the grilling time. I served with grilled asparagus and pasta tossed with parmesan and garlic powder. Perfect summer night meal.

This was AWESOME!! I had to change a few things...I didn't have any lemon juice on hand, so I used white wine vinegar; also I used dried basil. I made parmesan couscous with this and a side a peas. My family was fighting over seconds!! Make this recipe, it's SUPERB!

Absolutely delicious! I used all olive oil instead of butter after reading other reviews and dijon mustard since that was all I had. Even after hubby overcooked them slightly on the grill, they were still amazing! I managed to sneak a few into the fridge for tomorrow's lunch....shhhh. :)
