Skewers

Method

Preparation

1

Soak Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

2

Prepare Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and lime juice until well combined.

3

Marinate Shrimp

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling

4

Preheat Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

5

Skewer Shrimp

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer, leaving a little space between each shrimp.

6

Grill Shrimp

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming tough.

Serving

7

Serve

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot with lime wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
