  • “This was the best. Never changed a thing. We served it as an appetiser everyone said it was a keeper. Thank you for sharing this recipe.France”

  • “This was AMAZING. Didn’t have any rosemary so used oregano instead, no worcestershire so made a mix of soy sauce and balsalmic and probably used a bit more beer than we should have but the result was truly stunning. Try with a side of bbq’d zucchini, mushroom and capsicum.”

  • “Great recipe. Loved the pepper flavour. If anything, I might reduce the lemon, but that probably depends a bit on how strong your lemon is. Husband enjoyed it – but did comment on the lemon which I took as implying the lemon flavour was a bit dominant. I served it with rice and some steamed greens.”

  • “Quick, easy & tasty!I used orange juice and thought the flavour might be overpowering but we couldn’t taste it, nor the lemon juice.All the flavours blended very nicely.Will make again! “

  • “This was very tasty…I used white wine instead of beer or orange juice,and served it over angel hair pasta. I also added some Cajun seasoning as I love spicy foods.And I used the Worces. sauce made for chicken instead of the traditional one.Very good and very fast dish…I will make this one again! Thanks.”

  • “Pop, pop, pop!The pepper is the highlight of this dish.If you’re expecting a mild pepper flavor, cut back on the pepper.That said, I love pepper and this was perfect.I used dried rosemary but fresh rosemary would have been more flavorful and balanced the pepper better.I used a dark amber ale which was perfect.I’m not sure I would like this with orange juice.My only complaint is that my shrimp were not the best quality (no fault of the recipe).”
