Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into large strips
• 2 yellow squash, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 10 wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow squash, and red onion to the bowl. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix honey, chipotle chili powder, lime juice, smoked paprika, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create the shrimp marinade.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the honey chipotle marinade and toss until all shrimp are evenly coated. Let shrimp marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the grill.

Step 5

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces for a variety of colors and textures. Thread shrimp onto separate skewers.

Step 7

Place the vegetable skewers on the grill first, as they take slightly longer to cook. Grill for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

Add the shrimp skewers to the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until shrimp are pink, opaque, and charred at the edges.

Step 9

Remove both vegetable and shrimp skewers from the grill, and serve immediately. Optionally, drizzle extra lime juice over the top for added brightness.
