Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork shoulder or pork loin
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.33 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder or pork loin into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mince the garlic cloves. Add the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, olive oil, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Whisk until well combined to make the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the pork cubes and mix until each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for richer flavor.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Thread the marinated pork pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is evenly charred and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let the pork rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the skewered pork warm with your favorite dipping sauce, rice, or grilled vegetables.
