Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe featuring shrimp marinated in a sweet and spicy honey-sriracha glaze, perfect for grilling and packed with bold flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8–10 wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, sriracha, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, and olive oil in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, not exceeding 30 minutes.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. Thread 4-5 shrimp per skewer, fitting them snugly but not tightly.
  4. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 5-10 minutes).
  5. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, about 6-8 minutes total, until shrimp are opaque and pink with a caramelized glaze.
  6. Use tongs to flip gently and optionally brush extra marinade on the shrimp while grilling.
  7. Remove from grill and serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Notes

Do not marinate shrimp longer than 30 minutes to avoid ‘cooking’ them with lime juice. Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Watch grill heat to avoid burning the honey glaze. Shrimp cook quickly; remove as soon as they turn opaque and pink.
