Grilled Shrimp Marinade

garlic

honey

thyme

black pepper

red pepper flakes (optional)

shrimp

green onions (lemon wedges, for serving)

In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup with a spout, whisk together the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, honey, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Rinse

Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Place in a ziptop bag.

Pour

Pour the marinade over the shrimp, the seal the bag removing any excess air. Gently turn the shrimp to coat. Place the shrimp in a shallow dish to catch any drips and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Shake

Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Shake off the excess marinade from the shrimp and discard the excess marinade.

Cook

Cook the shrimp as desired: Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side (see Grilled Shrimp for specific step by steps), cook them under the oven broiler on a foil-lined baking sheet placed about 6 inches from the top for 3 to 5 minutes (rotate the pan as needed so they cook evenly), or sauté them in a skillet. For all methods, cook just until the shrimp is pink and no longer opaque—shrimp cook fast! Transfer to a serving plate. Enjoy hot or at room temperature, with a sprinkle of green onions and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
