Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, mix 2 tbsp honey and 1 tsp red chili flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated shrimp onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
  4. Step 4: Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred. Brush generously with the chili-garlic glaze during the last minute of cooking.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill, serve immediately with extra glaze on the side for dipping.
