Make juicy, sticky shrimp with a simple honey garlic glaze on the grill.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the glaze.
  3. Place the shrimp in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the glaze over the shrimp, reserving the other half for basting. Toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes. Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes, as the soy sauce can toughen the shrimp.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4 to 5 shrimp per skewer. Discard the marinade used for soaking.
  6. Place the skewers on the hot, oiled grill grates. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  7. During the last minute of cooking, brush the shrimp generously with the reserved glaze. Watch carefully, as the honey can burn quickly.
  8. Cook until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly caramelized. Remove from the grill immediately.

Notes

  • To prevent sticking, make sure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled before placing the shrimp down.
  • Serve immediately over rice or with grilled vegetables like asparagus or bell peppers.
  • For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lime juice over the finished shrimp.
