– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Creating grilled shrimp with honey garlic marinade is a simple and rewarding process. Just follow these steps:
1. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the shrimp is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, you can begin prepping your shrimp directly.
5. Skewer the Shrimp: Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, being sure to leave a small space between each shrimp for even cooking.
6. Grill the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough when overdone.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove from the grill and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lime wedges if desired.
