Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/4 cup honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for heat preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 bell pepper (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces

1 red onion, cut into wedges

1 zucchini, sliced into rounds

8-10 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Prep the Vegetables: While the shrimp marinates, chop the bell pepper, onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

        Assemble the Kabobs: After marinating, thread the shrimp and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between shrimp and veggies for a colorful presentation. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.

          Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

            Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the veggies are tender, about 6-8 minutes total. Brush any remaining marinade on the kabobs during grilling for extra flavor.

              Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot with a side of rice or a mixed salad, drizzling any leftover honey-garlic sauce over the top if desired.
