  • Prep Time 20 minutes
  • Total Time 20 minutes
  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • Vegetable oil, for grill
    • 2 tablespoons spicy chili sauce, such as Sriracha
    • 1/3 cup honey
    • 2 pounds extra-jumbo shrimp (about 32 total), peeled and deveined (tails left on)
    • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Cook's Note

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.
