Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks
- 1 large Red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 large Green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 large Red onion (cut into wedges)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional for extra spice)
- 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 mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers, onion, and pineapple into even-sized chunks for easy skewering.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the shrimp, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating for an even distribution of ingredients. Each skewer should include a mix of shrimp and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, brushing with additional marinade as desired, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve the Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Kabobs hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh lime juice or chopped fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
