Ingredients

• 1 pound Large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 large Bell peppers (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 large Red onion (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 8 skewers Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 4

While shrimp marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).

Step 6

Assemble the kabobs by threading marinated shrimp, bell pepper pieces, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between shrimp and vegetables.

Step 7

Lightly oil the grill grates or spray them with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 8

Place the kabobs on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove the kabobs from the grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest, if desired.
