Step 1

In a bowl, combine melted butter, honey, smoked paprika, chili powder or cayenne pepper, garlic powder, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry before marinating to prevent excess moisture from diluting the flavors of the marinade. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.

Step 3

Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Skewering the Shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Grilling the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp turns opaque and develops grill marks. Baste the shrimp with any remaining marinade while grilling for added flavor. Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.

Step 6

Serving: Once the shrimp are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skewers and arrange on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled shrimp for a citrus flavor. Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as white rice, vegetables, or a simple salad. Enjoy this wholesome meal!
