Combine honey, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil in a bowl, whisking until smooth. This creates a vibrant marinade with a balance of sweet, tart, and spicy notes.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing gently to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors infuse and the shrimp become tender.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over high heat until hot, with a slight smoky aroma and the surface shimmering.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, piercing through the thickest part to keep them secure. Arrange them with space in between to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the hot grill, hearing a sizzle as the marinade hits the grates. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping with tongs until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and develop light char marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill once the shrimp are evenly cooked and slightly charred around the edges. Let them rest for a minute to settle the juices.
Serve the skewers hot, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lime if desired, along with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy the tender, smoky shrimp with a bright citrus glaze that’s bursting with flavor.
