🧂 Ingredients

1 Prep and clean the shrimp accordingly. If you are starting from frozen, make
sure to defrost them according to the packaging instructions in advance. Pat
dry.
2 In a bowl, add the olive oil, peri-peri spice blend, garlic powder, smoked
paprika, and a generous pinch of salt. Mix until it forms a paste.
3 Warm the honey in a separate bowl in the microwave for just a few seconds. You
are looking for a loose consistency, not hot.
4 Add the shrimp to the bowl with the spice paste and toss to coat. Then, add the
honey and toss again. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes.
5 Preheat the grill to 450℉-500℉.
6 When skewering the shrimp, alternate between the single layers of onion ( you
can do 2-3 layers of onion together just make sure they are separated) and the
shrimp. The shrimp should touch the onion, but the skewer should not be too
tight overall.
7 Place the shrimp directly on the clean grill and close the lid if possible.
Depending on the size of the shrimp, cook them for 2-4 minutes on each side.
8 Remove from the grill and hit them with some fresh lime juice and a generous
amount of cilantro. Serve.
