Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 4

Thread the shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred. Brush the shrimp with additional barbecue sauce during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
