6 ingredients.

That’s all you need to make these Chili Honey Garlic Shrimp Kabobs.

And that’s if you count salt, pepper and olive oil as 3 of those ingredients. So if we call those freebies – this is really a 3 ingredient recipe.

It doesn’t get more simple than this. Grilled shrimp, basted with a simple honey and garlic chili sauce mixture. About 5 minutes on the grill is all it takes. The only part that really takes any time is threading the shrimp onto the skewers. This was such a super simple summer dinner. And full of flavor, too!

Ingredients:

Shrimp: I used large shrimp. I buy them shelled and deveined. And for this recipe, I left the tails on, but you can take them off before, grilling, too.
Salt and Pepper: To season to taste.
Olive Oil: The olive oil will keep the shrimp from sticking to the grill.
Honey: I like to use raw honey, but any honey will work.
Chili Garlic Sauce: This is usually pretty easy to find at your grocery store. Or you can also order chili garlic sauce online, as well.

How to Make Chili Honey Garlic Shrimp Kabobs

Thread the shrimp onto the skewers.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, and brush the olive oil over the shrimp to keep it from sticking.
Mix together the honey and chili garlic sauce. I like to heat it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it to thin out a bit.
Place the shrimp kabobs on the grill and cook for a minute, then turn the kabob and brush with the sauce. Do this a few more times, flipping and basting, until the shrimp is done.

Tips and Tricks

I like to serve my shrimp kabobs either over rice, or alongside some naan bread.
Be careful to not overcook the shrimp. They will cook quickly.
You can serve these as an appetizer, or as a main dish.
I like to sprinkle some finely minced cilantro over the top before starting.

Change it Up

The first time I made these, I didn’t have chili garlic sauce on hand, but I did have sweet Asian chili sauce. It totally works, but gives you a dish that has less heat.

Want more spice? Add in some dried chili flakes.

You can also skip the grill and cook these on the stove top. Skip the skewer, and add the sauce to the skillet with the shrimp.
