Honey Grilled Shrimp

I LOVE this dish! I have already made it five times this grilling season, it gets high reviews from everyone that has had it!  Did I mention it comes from Taste of Home magazine? But wait, that’s not all. BIG NEWS! I am also a Volunteer Taste of Home field editor!! Yup, it’s true!! How cool is that?! I feel like one of the cool kids! Now…back to the recipe. This shrimp is great as a side dish and would also be great on a salad ! I also added a light pinch of red pepper flakes… but that is optional!  You will not be disappointed with this quick and easy recipe!

INGREDIENTS
1 bottle (8 ounces) Italian salad dressing. ( I use the robusto dressing)
1 cup of honey
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Red pepper flakes (optional)
8 wooden skewers, soaked

DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl combine Italian dressing, honey and garlic.  Mix well and pour into a resealable bag and add the shrimp and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. When you are ready to grill remove shrimp from fridge, discard marinade and thread shrimp onto soaked skewers.  Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill skewers for two minutes per side or until shrimp turns pink. Add red pepper flakes,  if desired.  Serve warm.

Enjoy!
