There is something perfect about the combination of jalapenos, lime, garlic and shrimp! This is my favorite recipe for an impromptu poolside barbecue on a hot summer day. Try wrapping the shrimp with slightly cooked bacon before brushing with pepper jelly! Oh, so good!
It is the mildest of our jellies, so even your kids will love it, especially if you top it off with some Grilled Peaches over ice cream for dessert…see our recipe for a show-stopping finish!
