I forgot to buy basil, so I used a spice mix instead. Wasn’t the same tho. 3 stars for me.
But basil is key in Greek dishes! Mixing might not cut it. You know what I mean? I stick to the recipe or it ain’t right. 2 stars for me.
Using a spice mix is a good idea when you’re in a pinch! Sometimes, you gotta improvise. 4 stars seems fair for that.
Too much garlic for my taste. Maybe I did it wrong? Not a hit at my house.
You might have just used too many cloves. Try one next time. It could be better!
Shrimp go with everything! Can’t wait to have this again at my cookout!
I dunno, shrimp can be kinda slimy sometimes. Not my fav, but good luck at your cookout.
Totally agree! Shrimp just makes everything delicious. Hope your cookout goes amazing!
Ehhh, shrimp is gross. I don’t like seafood that much. But my friend said she liked it.
This recipe is easy, just toss shrimp and grill! 🌟 5 stars for simplicity!
I used frozen shrimp instead of fresh and it still turned out great! Thanks for the easy instructions!
This shrimp recipe is absolutely fantastic! The flavors are so vibrant! I made it for my family and everyone loved it!
Nasty! I thought it would be better. 😕
This was amazing! The flavors were perfect. My family loved it, and I’ll definitely make it again!
So glad to hear! This is my go-to recipe now. I’ve even added some chilies for a kick, and it turned out great!
It sounds good, but isn’t shrimp kinda tricky? I had once and it turned out rubbery. Maybe I’ll try it again following your notes. 🤔
I was skeptical about the thyme since I usually use parsley. But it turned out great! Who knew?
Eh, it was OK but a bit too lemony for my taste… maybe cut down the juice next time?
I can’t taste the thyme at all… did I do something wrong? 2 stars because it was kinda boring.
You sure you used the right kind of thyme? Fresh would taste way better. 2 stars? Come on!
Maybe you just need more thyme! It can be kinda subtle, but I love it!
Grill shrimp? I dunno… sounds like more work than it’s worth. Just boil em? 🤷♂️
Shrimp was overcooked on the grill, but the marinade was good. Next time I’ll keep an eye on them.
Glad to hear the marinade was good! Just remember, shrimp cook super fast. Maybe try a timer next time?
Yum! I never tried grilled shrimp before, but this recipe changed my mind! So good!
