Cooking for 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. 16–20 ct. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp. sriracha

Watermelon Salad

  • 3 cup seedless watermelon, diced
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 3 tbsp. fresh mint, chopped
  • 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

Shrimp Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp. granulated garlic
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • vegetable oil as needed

1 Food Prep

First, combine the ingredients for the watermelon salad in a mixing bowl. Mix it well and reserve.

Then, place the honey and sriracha into a bowl, mix well and reserve.

Next, place the shrimp into a small bowl, season it and toss to coat evenly.

Finally, place the seasoned shrimp on metal or bamboo skewers.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Charcoal with Applewood for its sweet and fruity wood flavor.

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 450°F (High Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Place the shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side. Don’t overcook your shrimp, they cook quickly. Fully cooked shrimp turn pinkish on the outside and white on the inside.

  • When the shrimp reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on a digital meat thermometer, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and place on a cutting board to rest.

  • Place the watermelon salad onto a plate, and lightly sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the salad.
  • Add the shrimp skewers on top of the watermelon salad, and drizzle the sriracha hot honey over the shrimp and salad.
