Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well-combined and emulsified.
  2. Place the shrimp in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour 3/4 of the marinade over the shrimp, reserving the remaining 1/4 for final brushing. Massage the bag to coat evenly and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grates with melted butter.
  4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2–3 minutes per side until opaque and charred at the edges.
  5. Brush the reserved marinade onto the shrimp during the final minute of cooking for a sticky finish. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
