Optional Garnish: Fresh parsley or fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Grill Grill grate 15″ metal skewers

SUPPLIES USED

Preparation Note: I prefer to use four 12-15” metal skewers for this recipe. If using wooden skewers be sure to soak for at least 30 minutes before adding shrimp to prevent burning.  

To Serve: This is best served hot right off the grill. I like them as an appetizer, on top of a fresh garden salad, or in shrimp tacos.

Step #1. Whisk honey, lime juice, chipotle powder and other marinade ingredients together in small jar with a lid (or a large resealable plastic bag).

DIRECTIONS

Step #2. Pour one-half of marinade mixture into large non-reactive bowl and reserve the other half in the jar for serving.

DIRECTIONS

Step #3. Place shrimp into a bowl and toss to coat. Marinate at least 15 minutes but not longer than 30 minutes.

DIRECTIONS

Step #4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, 5-6 per skewer.

DIRECTIONS

Step #5. Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium heat. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp until no longer translucent, 3-4 minutes per side.

DIRECTIONS

Watch carefully as shrimp cook very quickly and will become rubbery if overcooked.

DIRECTIONS

Step #6. Remove from grill onto a serving platter. Drizzle lightly with the remaining marinade.

DIRECTIONS

Step #7. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley sprigs and slices of fresh limes or as desired above.
