10-MINUTE HONEY BARBECUE GRILLED SHRIMP



10-Minute Honey Barbecue Grilled Shrimp image

Fast, EASY, healthy, and the perfect way to enjoy barbecue shrimp!! Tender, juicy, and full of such great FLAVOR from the barbecue sauce and honey

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Seafood

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup your favorite barbecue sauce
1/3 cup honey
2 to 4 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 to 3 tablespoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce, optional and to taste if you prefer some spiciness
1 to 1.25 pounds fresh shrimp, cleaned and deveined (I use U20 shrimp, with tails still on; you can use larger shrimp or shrimp without tails on if desired)
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
fresh lemon wedges, for serving
fresh cilantro or parsley, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • To a medium bowl, add the barbecue sauce, honey, garlic, optional sriracha or chili garlic sauce, and stir to combine. Divide mixture into two bowls (one for brushing on the shrimp while grilling and the other as a dipping sauce when serving); set bowls aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (or indoor grill pan).
  • Thread about 5 to 6 shrimp onto one metal or wooden grilling skewer (soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes prior to using); repeat the threading with all remaining shrimp.
  • Brush shrimp liberally with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the shrimp for about 2 minutes on the first side.
  • Flip and brush the just-grilled side with the barbecue sauce mixture from one of the bowls.
  • Grill for about 2 minutes on the second side, and brush the first side with the barbecue sauce mixture. As necessary, continue to brush the shrimp with the sauce and flip every 30 to 60 seconds or until done. Note - Shrimp cook very quickly, especially on a hot grill. Keep an eye on them and do not overcook or they will become tough and rubbery. There is a difference between a little charring on the tails from the grill versus overcooking them.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice, optionally garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve immediately with the reserved dipping sauce. Shrimp are best warm and fresh.

The key to succulent and flavorful BBQ shrimp is in the marinade, a blend of pantry staples.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp: For the best texture and flavor, opt for fresh, large shrimp. Devein and peel the shrimp before marinating, leaving the tails intact for a visually appealing presentation.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is essential for infusing the shrimp with smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Ensure the marinade fully coats the shrimp.
  • Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the shrimp marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, avoid marinating for more than 24 hours, as the shrimp may become tough.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan: Before cooking the shrimp, preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. This will help sear the shrimp and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side: Once the grill or grill pan is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the shrimp tough.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: BBQ shrimp can be served as an appetizer or main course. Pair it with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

With its smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors, BBQ shrimp is a delicious and versatile dish perfect for summer grilling. By following these tips, you can create perfectly cooked, succulent, and flavorful BBQ shrimp that will impress your friends and family.
