Honey-Lime Grilled Shrimp
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 limes, juiced and zested
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice and zest of 2 limes, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the honey-lime marinade over the shrimp. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off excess, and discard the remaining marinade.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Grill the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot.
Honey-Lime Grilled Shrimp is a delightful dish that combines the sweetness of honey with the tangy zest of lime, creating a perfect balance of flavors. This dish has its roots in the coastal regions of Mexico and the Caribbean, where fresh seafood is abundant. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Bobby Flay have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The key to perfecting this dish lies in marinating the shrimp in a mixture of honey, lime juice, and spices before grilling them to juicy perfection.
