Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Cook covered over medium-low heat.

  • For an alternative method to the skewers, place the shrimp and lime wedges in a grill basket (grill "wok"). Grill as directed above. Transfer the grilled shrimp and lime to a platter and guests can use decorative picks to serve themselves. (See photo on the cover).

  • You can shave several minutes off the prep time by purchasing shrimp already peeled and deveined.

Ingredients

  • 1/3  cup honey
  • 1/4  cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4  cup finely chopped green onions (4 medium)
  • 3  tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2  tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 2  teaspoons grated fresh lemon or lime peel
  • 1  tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 24  uncooked medium shrimp (about 1 lb), peeled, deveined
  • Lemon or lime slices, halved, if desired
  • 8  bamboo skewers (5 or 6 inch)

Directions

  1. 1In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except shrimp and skewers. Add shrimp to bag. Seal bag; turn to coat shrimp. Place bag in large bowl. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to marinate but no longer than 8 hours.
  2. 2Soak skewers in water 30 minutes to prevent burning. Meanwhile, heat gas or charcoal grill.
  3. 3Drain shrimp; discard marinade. Thread 3 shrimp and 3 lemon slices on each skewer, leaving 1/4-inch space between each shrimp.
  4. 4Place shrimp on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 5 to 7 minutes, turning once, until shrimp are pink. Serve warm.
