Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.3333 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pcs lime wedges (for serving)
- 8 pcs bamboo or metal skewers
Instructions
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create the chili glaze.
Place the shrimp in the bowl with the glaze and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the grill or oven.
If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, set the broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, dividing them evenly. Ensure the shrimp are snug but not tightly packed on each skewer.
Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred. If broiling, place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Optional: Brush additional chili glaze onto the shrimp during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill or oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over each skewer.
