Honey Garlic Shrimp Skewers

Instructions

1. Prepare the marinade
   In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade for brushing later.
2. Marinate the shrimp
   Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large ziplock bag or bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated. Seal and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes (no longer than 30 minutes as the acid will start to cook the shrimp).
3. Prepare for grilling
   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/205°C) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
4. Skewer the shrimp
   Remove shrimp from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Thread 4-5 shrimp onto each skewer, being careful not to overcrowd them so they cook evenly.
5. Grill the skewers
   Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred. While grilling, brush the shrimp with the reserved marinade for extra flavor and glaze.
6. Garnish and serve
   Transfer the grilled shrimp skewers to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
