Method
- Start by mixing the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Combine the BBQ sauce, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic. Whisk until blended.
- Next, add the shrimp to a large Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and gently move the bag around to ensure all the shrimp are evenly coated. This step is crucial for maximum flavor.
- Seal the bag and pop it in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes. This allows the shrimp to soak up all those delicious flavors.
- If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 to 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Once the shrimp are marinated, thread them onto the skewers. Make sure they’re spaced out evenly, which allows for even cooking.
- Preheat your BBQ or grill to high heat, then reduce it to medium-high. This step is essential for achieving that perfect grill mark.
- Grill the skewers for about 2 minutes on each side. Look for the shrimp to turn pink and opaque, indicating they are cooked through. Avoid overcooking them, as they can become rubbery.
- Once the shrimp are done, you can serve them right on the skewers for a fun presentation or take them off before serving.
- Enjoy your beautifully grilled shrimp with a side of rice or a fresh salad!
Notes
Leftover shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying them out.
You can freeze the marinated shrimp before grilling. Just make sure to use them within three months for optimal taste.
These shrimp go wonderfully with grilled vegetables, rice, or a refreshing salad.
Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs to the marinade for a personalized touch.
They can be served as appetizers or as a main dish, making them versatile for any meal.
