Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the shrimp in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer the shrimp to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
