Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey whips up an easy two-ingredient glaze that adds a sweet heat to grilled shrimp --and so much more.
Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Stir together chili sauce and honey. Assemble kebabs (using 2 long skewers for each, threading 1 skewer through head end of shrimp and 1 through tail end); season with salt and pepper.
Grill until shrimp begin to turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, brush liberally with glaze, and cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with more glaze and serve.
Brush On a Glaze
Chili sauce and honey are all you need for major flavor. The glaze caramelizes on the grill for even more complexity. Also try it with bone-in chicken pieces or beef kebabs.
I love spicy, but this is leaving a burning pain in my mouth post-meal from the chili oil. I used Kikkoman sriraracha. I also don't think the flavors melded well, and it was more like a distinctive honey glaze with a distinctive sriracha sauce. I would add one more ingredient like garlic as it seems to be missing something.
Very good. I made this for my family and they loved it!!!
