Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Garlic Grilled Shrimp
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and optional red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Place the extra-large shrimp in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they're well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  3. If you're using wooden skewers for the grilled shrimp, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat, reaching around 400°F.
  5. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
  6. Carefully place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, flipping once, until they turn opaque and slightly charred.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter and optionally sprinkle with chopped green onions.
