Tips
- If you are using wooden skewers to make this recipe, it’s VERY important that you soak them in water for a couple of hours before using them so they don’t catch on fire.

Serving Suggestions
Serve your honey grilled shrimp hot off the grill with a side of rice or veggies for a satisfying meal that’s sure to impress everyone!

Make sure you do not use the marinade from the bag that had the shrimp in it to baste the shrimp on the grill. Reserve approximately 1/2 cup for basting.
