My mom wanted to have a healthy, low fat meal a few days ago, and she said she was gonna grill up some barbecue shrimp. This "cooking" she speaks of means she uses bottled barbecue sauce to baste shrimp. And since I've turned into a little chef over the years, and really do not prefer bottled/store bought items, I insisted that I make a light sauce instead. She agreed, of course. I looked up a few of the top grilled shrimp recipes throughout the web, and came up with this delicious marinade. I absolutely LOVE the flavors that combine in this dish! The slightly spicy kick from the red pepper mixed with the sweet honey and fruity flavors, and mixed with the tart flavors from the vinegar, lemon juice, and shrimp were totally out of this world. I never would have thought of using "fruity" flavors like applesauce and strawberry jam, but the result was so refreshing...the {perfect summer meal}. I recommend serving this over rice, noodles, or salad. I had this over a salad with chopped strawberries and goat cheese. Best salad I've ever had. My mom told me she'll definitely make this recipe instead of her "bottled" barbecue shrimp for now on.
