Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Grilled Shrimp Kabobs is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for success:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15–30 minutes in the refrigerator, covered.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
4. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion.
5. Season: Lightly sprinkle the assembled skewers with salt and pepper for added flavor.
6. Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and veggies are slightly tender.
7. Baste While Grilling: If desired, brush a bit of leftover marinade onto the shrimp while grilling for extra flavor (make sure to set some aside before marinating the shrimp).
8. Serve Hot: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and allow them to rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
By following these steps, you’ll have perfectly grilled kabobs that everyone will love!
