    I can't think of a better send off to summer than enjoying dinner outside while feasting on these tasty sweet and spicy Grilled Chipotle Shrimp Skewers.

    Summer means a lot of things to me. It means warm sunny days where I can soak in as much Vitamin D as my body can store. It means bike riding, camping, hiking, and swimming with the kids. Maybe best of all, it means delicious meals cooked on the grill and eaten outside.

    This shrimp recipe is particularly wonderful because it's so easy to pack in so much flavor with very little work.

    The marinade is made of a few simple ingredients and you might even already have them on hand! I like to heat up the marinade so that all the flavors come together. Since the marinade has to cool completely before smothering the shrimp, you can easily make it ahead of time and just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to give that shrimp its "flavor bath", as my kids like to call it.

    The heat from the spice nor the sweet from the honey overtakes the flavor of the shrimp. This is one of those recipes where everything compliments everything and it will leave everyone asking for the recipe! Shrimp gets extra bonus points, in my opinion, for only taking a few minutes to cook.

      I made this last night and everyone loved it. I made these into tacos with grilled fajita style veggies and homemade guacamole. So easy and my house smelled so yummy. I’m honestly thinking about making the marinade again today and putting it on some salmon for tonight. Thanks for a great recipe.
