Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp, tossing to coat evenly. Marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: While shrimp marinates, combine 1 medium diced ripe avocado, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro in a separate bowl. Gently mix and season with a pinch of salt.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.
Step 4: Remove shrimp from grill and serve immediately topped with the fresh avocado salsa for a bright, refreshing contrast.
