Easy and quick honey garlic butter grilled shrimp skewers perfect for summer BBQs, delivering a sweet, savory, and garlicky flavor with a beautiful caramelized glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-on or off, your choice)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes beforehand)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or clover honey preferred)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika (if using), and lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Toss shrimp in about half of the sauce, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking. Soak wooden skewers if using.
  5. Thread shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.
  6. Place skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Brush generously with the remaining honey garlic butter sauce halfway through cooking.
  7. Remove skewers from grill, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before marinating to help sauce stick. Brush sauce halfway through grilling to caramelize without burning. Avoid overcrowding the grill for even cooking. Wooden skewers should be soaked to prevent burning. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free.
