Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw honey recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for salsa)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for salsa)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, keeping tails on for easier handling.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to make the marinade/glaze.
  3. Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  4. While shrimp marinates, combine mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a bowl to make the mango salsa. Refrigerate until serving.
  5. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Thread 4-5 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces.
  7. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  8. Grill shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing with extra honey sriracha glaze midway through cooking. Total cook time is 5-6 minutes.
  9. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
  10. Serve skewers hot with a generous scoop of mango salsa, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Marinate shrimp for no longer than 20 minutes to avoid mushy texture. Brush glaze multiple times during grilling for a sticky, caramelized coating. If glaze burns, lower heat or move skewers to cooler grill area. Fresh lime juice brightens flavor better than bottled. If no grill available, broil in oven or cook in hot skillet watching closely to avoid burning.
