  • “Well that’s it… I have officially died and gone to Heaven!! these are superior! these shrimp are the most amazing shrimp I have ever eaten, I urge anyone who enjoys something spicy and really REALLY good to make these, you will be very glad you did!”

  • “A definite keeper!!!Everyone loved these!!I couldn’t find habenaro, so used a lg jalapeno instead and it was the perfect amount of heat.Anymore, and they wouldn’t have been as enjoyable.Made the sauce the night before my party, let it sit out until soft again, and spread it on before bbqing.Perfect blend of flavours, I can’t wait to make it again soon!!!”

  • “I used olive oil instead of butter and it rocked!! My spouse was crying. I was congested but my sinuses are all clear.Added two more cloves of garlic, served it with a salad and we just loved it!! Thanks!”

  • “This recipe was awsome!!I use it most without the cumin, and use olive oil instead of butter.It goes great with grilled steak.All my guests love it.”

  • “I liked this recipe, but thought it was a little too hot. It tasted good, but it was really hard for me to get past the thermonuclear part. But that’s just my preference…if you like really spicy food, this recipe is certainly for you!”

  • “Wow, use the right Habanero and this is just TNT! I served with salad and a little cottage cheese.”
