Method
Marinade & Shrimp
- 1
Make the marinade
In a medium bowl combine 3 tbs olive oil, 2 tbs lemon juice, 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tsp honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and slightly emulsified.

Add shrimp
Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in the bowl with the marinade. Toss thoroughly to coat each shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes (no longer than 1 hour) to allow flavors to penetrate.

Grill the shrimp
Thread shrimp onto skewers (2–3 shrimp per skewer) or place directly on the hot grill/grill pan. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until opaque and firm with light char marks. Avoid overcooking — total cook time should be about 4–6 minutes depending on shrimp size.
Finish & Garnish
- 5
Finish with butter
During the last 30 seconds on the grill, brush the shrimp with the 1 tbs of unsalted butter to add gloss and richness. Remove shrimp from the grill and transfer to a warm plate.
