This dish was AMAZING! Gentle heat to it, not overwhelming, the variety of flavors and textures was wonderful. Cooked the shrimp on skewers on the top rack of the BBQ, then served over brown rice with the reduced marinade. WOW. Everyone loved it.

This was so good! I sauted mine and served it with the rice, sauce, and black beans. It was a great summer shrimp dish. Definitely going in my recipe book!

I heard a chorus sing behind me as I endulged in the shrimp, avocado, and sauce over couscous! I’ve tried a couple of other “citrus” marinades and none have tasted as good as this one does. The recipe is going in my book of favorites and will be emailed to others.

I made this over the weekend and it was great! I will leave the triple sec out next time to possibly remove some of the sweet flavor. But over a bed of rice it was a great summer supper!

mmm. I was missing a few of the spices, and this still came out very tasty! My only regret is that I’m not sure how well it will do as leftovers, but it was a delicious dinner– nutty avocado, tangy shrimp & hearty rice are great together.

I made this as written and it was fabulous! I grilled the shrimp, used whole wheat orzo and reduced the left over marinade and used it as a sauce. This would make a great pasta salad too. I will be using just the shrimp as a room temp. appy for my holiday party this year. Thanks for the recipe!

This was so good. I marinated my shrimp for 50 minutes then had my boyfriend gill them over a very low flame for maybe 10 minutes. I didn’t have any plain rice in my pantry, so I used a box of Rice a roni Mexican flavor instead. I also used the marinade for a sauce but I boiled it longer than 3 or 4 minutes. I probably boiled it for 10 or 15 just to make triple sure any bad germ would be completely killed. My family LOVED IT ! ! ! There were no leftovers.

This was wonderful! Used gran marnier instead of triple sec as that is what I had. Grilled the shrimp and heated tortillas and refried beans to go with. Wonderful meal. As my husband said “this is a keeper”

I was so looking forward to this recipe but was totally disappointed. It was overwhelmingly bitter…almost to the point of being inedible. I might try it again but I would definitely leave out the orange zest as I believe that was the problem (no, I didn’t zest the pith!).

We loved this. We served the shrimp over black beans and quinoa cooked in broth. It even reheated nicely in a skillet the next day. Thanks for the great recipe! I’ll be making this again for sure!

Can never have too many great shrimp recipes. This looks great!

This was AMAZING! Made it over the weekend for our daughter and son-in-law to go with steak. Served over brown rice. You have to know my son-in-law’s appetite to fully appreciate this, but this shrimp stole the show, and he’s a t-bone man. Thanks for sharing!

I can’t wait to try this on the chicken I purchased yesterday! One question, how long should I marinate the chicken???

I wish there was some way to make it without the alcohol..we don’t drink and buying alcohol merely
for a recipe is simply not an option.

Is there a substitute for Triple Sec and Tequila? I’d love to make it without a trip to the liquor store.
Madnmas on 9.23.2010
rolltidegrl26: The recipe mentions that you marinade for an hour.

bethb I think this recipe would work without the tequila, since the spices in here are so powerful. It might be a tad less sweet with out the triple sec, so maybe some extra OJ or OJ concentrate would add that back.
I buy nips of booze that I don’t normally drink but would use for recipes, and keep the mini bottles of wine (come in a 4-pack) on hand so I don’t open a whole bottle for a splash in a pan.

I’m loving this combination of flavors. This hit the sweet spot of my cooking palette. Well executed. Cheers!
