These Zesty Honey Chipotle Shrimp Skewers are a delightful blend of sweet and spicy flavors, perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick dinner.
In a large bowl, mix together the honey, chipotle chiles in adobo, minced garlic, and kosher salt.
Ensure the marinade is well mixed to evenly coat the shrimp.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Marinating the shrimp enhances the flavor and tenderness.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing through both the tail and head sections.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them juicy and tender.
Transfer the skewers to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
Adding cilantro just before serving keeps its flavor vibrant.
