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 to your heat preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

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

1 red onion, cut into wedges

1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

8-10 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they're evenly mixed and the honey is well incorporated.

    Marinate the Shrimp: Add the cleaned shrimp to the marinade, making sure they are all well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper flavor, you can marinate them for up to 2 hours.

      Prep the Vegetables: While the shrimp is marinating, wash and chop the bell pepper, onion, and zucchini into uniform, bite-sized pieces. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

        Assemble the Kabobs: After marinating, remove the shrimp from the refrigerator. Take the skewers and alternate threading the shrimp and vegetable pieces onto them. Aim for a colorful blend and leave a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.

          Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to a medium-high setting. To prevent sticking, lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil.

            Grill the Kabobs: Carefully place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn a lovely pink and opaque color, and the vegetables become tender. This should take about 6-8 minutes total. For a flavor boost, brush any leftover marinade over the kabobs while grilling.

              Serve: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and allow them to rest for a minute. Serve them hot alongside a fluffy bed of rice or a vibrant mixed salad. For an extra touch, drizzle any remaining honey-garlic sauce over the top before digging in.

                  Presentation Tips: For an eye-catching presentation, serve the kabobs on a large platter garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and a few lemon wedges for a splash of color and a zesty squeeze!
