Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 large mango, ripe but firm, cut into cubes
- 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them completely in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the mango and red onion by cutting them into roughly 1-inch cubes or chunks.
Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and discard any excess marinade.
Assemble the kabobs by threading shrimp, mango chunks, and red onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating ingredients as desired.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, the mango is slightly caramelized, and the onions are tender.
Serve the kabobs hot with a side of lime wedges or a fresh salad for a vibrant meal.
