Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
- Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Marinate the shrimp for 15-30 minutes, depending on how much time you have. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water during this time as well.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using skewers, thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers.
- Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the shrimp skewers directly on the grill or use a grill basket if you prefer. Reserve the marinade.
- Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Baste the shrimp with the reserved marinade during grilling to enhance the flavor and create a glossy glaze.
- Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the shrimp for extra flavor.
- Serve the honey-glazed grilled shrimp immediately with your favorite side dishes or as part of a seafood platter.
Enjoy your honey-glazed grilled shrimp!
