8 8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1 Tbsp 1 finely minced lemon zest, packed
1/3 cup 1/3 freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup 1/3 honey
2 Tbsp 2 canola oil
2 tsp 2 finely chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp 1/2 kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp 1/4 freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
20 20 jumbo raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
Directions
- Whisk together zest, lemon juice, honey, canola oil, mint, salt and pepper. In airtight container, place 2/3 cup mixture and refrigerate; reserve for sauce.
- Skewer shrimp, and place in shallow dish; add remaining marinade. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for up to 1 hour; turn as needed to evenly coat.
- To make sauce, remove reserved marinade from refrigerator, and boil in small saucepan over high heat until slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes; set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium. Clean it with stiff brush, then rub with canola oil. Remove shrimp skewers from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard marinade. Season shrimp with salt.
- Grill until lightly charred on the outside and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side; if marinade starts to burn, move to cooler part of grill. Spoon sauce over shrimp, and serve hot or at room temperature.
Notes
- Marinade is also delicious for fish, lobster or lamb chops. Marinate fish and lobster up to 45 minutes and lamb chops up to 4 hours.
