Ingredients

1 pound Raw shrimp tails on if preferred (about 24 pieces)
¾ teaspoon Lemon zest
1 ½ tablespoon Lemon juice (fresh is best)
2 tablespoons Honey
1 teaspoon Fresh parsley minced
¼ teaspoon Smoked paprika or cayenne pepper if you prefer spicy
¼ teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

Peel and devein the 1 pound Raw shrimp if needed, then pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, whisk together the ¾ teaspoon Lemon zest, 1 ½ tablespoon Lemon juice , 2 tablespoons Honey, 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley, ¼ teaspoon Smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon Black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the honey-lemon mixture.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a lightly greased, broiler-safe rack on top. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer.
Place the shrimp about 5 inches from the heating element and broil for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until pink, opaque, and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges and your favorite sides.

Notes

Serving size: 2 Skewers- 3 shrimp in each skewer
Use raw large or jumbo shrimp for the best results.
Thaw frozen shrimp completely and pat dry before cooking.
Watch the shrimp closely under the broiler since they cook quickly.
Substitute lime juice and zest for lemon if preferred.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
You can make these shrimp on an outdoor grill for that delicious smoky flavor or cook them under the oven broiler when grilling isn't an option. Both methods are quick and easy!
