    “Grill Shrimp to Perfection – Parent-Approved Honey and Garlic Glaze Recipe”

    Grilled Shrimp with Honey and Garlic Glaze

    As a stay-at-home parent, I love to find ways to bring a little bit of restaurant-style cooking into my home. This grilled shrimp with a honey and garlic glaze is a perfect way to do just that. Not only is it easy to make, but the flavors are truly out of this world. Plus, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.

    This recipe starts off with a simple marinade made from honey, garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice. The marinade gives the shrimp great flavor, as well as helps to tenderize the meat. Once the shrimp have had some time to soak up the flavors of the marinade, it’s time to head out to the grill.

    I like to use a charcoal grill for this recipe because it gives the shrimp an extra smoky flavor that can’t be replicated in an oven or stovetop. Plus, it’s just so much fun to cook outdoors! Simply place the shrimp on skewers and place them directly onto the hot coals. Grill for about three minutes on each side until they become opaque and cooked through.

    Once they are finished cooking, take them off of the skewers and brush with a mixture of honey and garlic powder. This will give them a delicious glaze that will bring out all of the flavors of the marinade. Serve over rice or quinoa and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)

    • 2 tablespoons honey

    • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

    • 1 tablespoon lime juice

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • Skewers for grilling (optional)

    • Cilantro for garnish (optional)

    • Lime wedges for garnish (optional)

    Directions:

    1. In a medium bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add shrimp and stir until evenly coated in marinade. Allow to sit for 20 minutes at room temperature to marinate.

    2. Preheat charcoal grill or gas grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 15 minutes before grilling. Thread shrimp onto soaked skewers (optional). Grill shrimp 3 minutes on each side until opaque in color and cooked through.

    3. Remove from heat and brush with mixture of honey and garlic powder until evenly coated in glaze. Serve over rice or quinoa and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
