Shrimp is always a crowd pleaser. Shrimp is a little special and a bit high end, and I love to serve Shrimp when company comes. This dish is full of flavor and is good cooked in a frying pan or on the grill. It's excellent as an appetizer or as a main course. The combination of the juicy Shrimp, spicy cayenne, fresh tasting cilantro and a bit of honey, makes these shrimp one of my favorites.
