Definitely summer friendly. Marinating is key here, guys, I let them sit for 2 days. My family {kids included} couldn't stop eating them, the bowl was licked clean by my 2 year old daughter, lol. If I were to ever use shrimp again I will use this recipe for sure.

First time allrecipes reviewers have let me down - I marinated this all night and it was so bland. I had to seriously doctor it up before the party and it still was just mediocre. Maybe we just like more flavor down here in Texas? I dunno, but wow, what a disappointment.

This was a good but not great recipe. I let it marinate for 2 days as other reviewers suggested, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I think extra seasonings (garlic, peppers, etc) would make it much better. I also think he capers should be mined first.

I have read recipes that promise to get rave reviews from guests but having just experienced it myself, I can verify that last night my gourmet dinner group literally devoured every last one of the shrimp and I just finished emailing this link to all of them as everyone requested a copy. Even the men who were waiting for the tenderloin entree were vieing for the last ones. The recipe doesn't sound like much but I marinated the shrimp overnight, turning the storage bag over every time I went into the fridge for something. I served them piled between lemon wedges on the serving plate and added a simple cocktail sauce of ketsup, horseradish and lemon juice with a shot of hot sauce. Add whatever you wish but this one is a keeper for me just as it is.

I agree to start this marinade 2 days ahead of time for better flavor. This was a hit over the holidays- I served it cold with cocktail sauce. I ended up tweaking the recipe a bit according to what I had on hand and it was still good. It could have had a little more "zip" but overall it really perked up a bag of basic cooked and frozen shrimp. Will make again!

This is one of my all-time favorite go-to appetizer recipes. Very easy, and really delicious. Even better the next day. Wouldn't change a thing.

I made this recipe for my daughter's wedding shower. Originally, I let them marinate overnight(about 21 hours). When I ate them during the celebration, I thought they were tasteless and boring. What a big let down. HOWEVER, I had a few left over the next day...about 48 hours later and they were freakin' fantastic!!! This is a quick, easy to prepare dish that can be made 2 days ahead of time so you can concentrate on the other foods being served. The ingredients need time to blend AND permeate the shrimp.

I made this for our Superbowl party and it was a hit. It is pretty presented on a lettuce covered plate and scallion sprinkled over the top. I used olive oil instead of canola - just personal preference.
