Delicious as an appetizer, or atop a dinner salad, or served alongside rice for a light weeknight meal, these shrimp are coated in sweet heat thanks to hot honey and Sriracha. If you want to take the heat down a notch, use regular honey instead.
Hot Honey Grilled Shrimp
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Serves 4- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 large clove garlic, grated
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound large shrimp (21 to 24 count), peeled and deveined
- 1 scallion, sliced
- Lime wedges for serving
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Stir honey, Sriracha, ginger, garlic, and salt together in a large bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Thread the shrimp onto 4 metal skewers. Grill, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Sprinkle with scallion and serve with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
Tasty tip: Hot honey is honey infused with chiles that give it a subtle kick. Look for it online or in well-stocked supermarkets or make your own by combining honey with hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne.
