Take note
Caution: Grilling shrimp skewers may cause spontaneous mouthwatering and an uncontrollable desire for seconds. Proceed with caution, and make sure to have plenty of napkins handy!
Start by peeling and deveining 1 pound of fresh Banded Blue Lagoon shrimp. Leave the tails on because, let's face it, they make great handles for devouring these delicious skewers!
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon of honey, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Place the shrimp in a zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and gently massage it to make sure the shrimp are well coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but if you can resist the temptation, feel free to marinate them for up to 4 hours for maximum flavor!
Now, it's time to fire up that grill! Preheat it to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). If you're using charcoal, make sure the coals are evenly lit and glowing orange before you start grilling.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes beforehand to prevent them from burning on the grill. Alternating shrimp with slices of fresh pineapple and red bell peppers not only adds a burst of color but also gives these skewers a tropical flavor twist!
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be sure to flip them halfway through to ensure even grilling. Beware of shrimp-induced cravings and the enticing aroma that will have your neighbors knocking on your door!
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two. Then, it's time to dig in and savor the flavors of the Banded Blue Lagoon shrimp skewers! Serve them as a main course with a side of grilled veggies or on a bed of fluffy rice. Just be prepared for compliments and requests for the recipe!
