Ingredients

1 pound (450g) large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, ½-inch piece

1 tablespoon minced garlic, 3 cloves

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon Gochujang, see notes

Directions

Marinate Shrimp

Combine the shrimp marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip-top freezer bag. Let the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

If using skewers, soak wooden skewers in water while the shrimp marinate so they do not burn on the grill or in the oven.

Cook Shrimp

Grill (Recommended): Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers in opposing directions (heads touching, tails outward) for flat skewers. See our photos for reference. Push the skewer through the head and tail of each shrimp. They will look like an interlocking circle, keeping the shrimp skewers flat.

Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through.

Roast: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 5 to 7 minutes or until opaque and cooked through.

Skillet: Heat skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp for 5 to 7 minutes until opaque and cooked. Watch for the honey burning in the pan (keep the heat between medium and medium-high).
