Frequently asked questions

Can I use an indoor grill or grill pan instead?

Yes! Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the skewers for the same amount of time, turning once halfway through.

What size shrimp should I use?

Large or jumbo shrimp work best (16-20 count per pound) as they won t overcook as quickly and are easier to handle on skewers.

Can I make the glaze ahead of time?

Absolutely! The honey lime glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just whisk before using.

How do I know when the shrimp are done?

Shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque throughout. They should feel firm but not tough when pressed gently.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels and thread onto skewers, leaving small spaces between each piece.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic until well combined. Reserve half of the glaze for serving.

  3. 3

    Brush shrimp skewers with olive oil, then season with paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Make sure all shrimp are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Brush with half of the honey lime glaze during the last minute of cooking.

  6. 6

    Remove from grill when shrimp are pink and slightly charred. Drizzle with reserved glaze and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving immediately.
