Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Shrimp Skewers is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Skewer the Shrimp: Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
6. Baste with Marinade: If desired, brush the skewers with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
7. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
