Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Wooden or metal skewers
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Honey Soy Glaze

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, lime juice, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.
2. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking them.
7. Remove from the grill and drizzle with any leftover marinade for added flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure shrimp are fresh for the best flavor.
• Don’t marinate for too long; 30 minutes is ideal to avoid mushiness.
• Keep an eye on the grill to prevent overcooking; shrimp cook quickly.
• If using metal skewers, be careful as they can get hot.

Easy Variations

• Swap the shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the skewers for extra flavor and color.
• Use a spicy chili sauce mixed in the marinade for a kick.
• Try different herbs like basil or mint for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a hearty side.
• A fresh cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a summer vibe.
• Garlic bread to soak up any extra glaze.
