Honey Lime Grilled Shrimp Instructions:

1. Preparation: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice, lime zest, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the shrimp in the marinade ensuring each one is fully coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes. This will infuse the shrimp with the zesty flavors of the Honey Lime mixture.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, spacing them evenly.
5. Place the skewered shrimp onto the grill.
6. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring a beautiful char without overcooking. Remember, shrimp cooks quickly!
7. Once done, remove from the grill and allow to rest for a minute or two.

Pro Tips:

1. Using fresh lime juice makes a huge difference. Avoid bottled lime juice as it lacks the fresh zesty punch.
2. Always opt for large shrimp as they’re easier to skewer and grill.
3. Do not marinate shrimp for too long, as lime can start to ‘cook’ the shrimp, giving it a ceviche-like texture.
4. If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for about 20 minutes before threading the shrimp. This prevents them from burning on the grill.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve your Honey Lime Grilled Shrimp on a bed of quinoa or brown rice for a healthy pairing.
• A side of grilled asparagus or bell peppers complements the shrimp beautifully.
• Drizzle any leftover marinade (make sure it hasn’t touched raw shrimp) over the grilled shrimp for added zest.
• A slice of lime on the side for those who love an extra citrusy kick.
