These honey garlic grilled shrimp skewers are quick, easy, and perfect for summer BBQs, delivering a sweet and savory flavor that’s a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Bamboo or metal skewers (soaked in water if bamboo)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 204°C).
  5. Thread 4-5 shrimp per skewer, leaving space between each shrimp for even cooking.
  6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, basting occasionally with leftover marinade.
  7. Check for doneness when shrimp curl into a loose ‘C’ shape and feel firm but springy.
  8. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Do not marinate shrimp longer than 30 minutes to avoid mushy texture. If grilling indoors, use a grill pan and watch shrimp closely as they cook faster. Never reuse marinade that has touched raw shrimp unless boiled first. Rest skewers for 2 minutes after grilling to let juices redistribute.
