Honey Garlic Shrimp

I am a huge fan of cooking shrimp because they cook in very little time and always taste delicious!  I used to think that shrimp had to be cooked in butter and garlic (so good, I know) but now I experiment with lots of different marinades and spices.  

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 Tablespoons of Honey
• 3 Tablespoons of Lime Juice
• 1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt 
• 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Combine all ingredients except shrimp in a small bowl.  Mix well. Place shrimp in Ziploc Bag and pour marinade over it.  Make sure shrimp is covered in mixture.  Squeeze out the air, place in fridge for 30-60 minutes.  

Remove shrimp from fridge and place on metal skewers.  Pour marinade over top.

Place shrimp on preheated grill.  Cook them for about 2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink.

These shrimp can also be cooked inside in a skillet.  Just heat a large skillet and cook the shrimp about two minutes on each side.  There isn't a need for additional oil the marinade should be enough.
