Notes

  1. you can use any type of shrimp and adjust the cook time as needed. Make sure you start with fully thawed shrimp; we do recommend peeling, deveining, and removing the tails to make them easier to eat.
  2. fresh limes add an extra punch of flavor, but bottled can be used; lemon may be swapped in a pinch
  3. honey may be swapped for maple syrup or your favorite liquid sweetener
Storage
This recipe is best served fresh, however, the marinade can be stirred together up to 4 days ahead and stored in the fridge. Do not marinate shrimp for more than 1 hour.
