Ingredients
  

Marinade and glaze
  • 1.5 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 peaches ripe, cut into chunks
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 2 garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder
  • 0.25 salt to taste
  • 0.25 pepper to taste
  • 1 fresh cilantro for serving
  • 1 lime wedges for serving

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 grill

Method
 

Mix the honey-lime marinade
  1. Whisk melted butter, honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper together until combined and smooth.
  2. Toss shrimp in half the marinade and refrigerate for 15 minutes, keeping them covered so they stay evenly coated.
  3. Toss peach chunks in the remaining marinade and set aside while the shrimp marinates.
Skewer and grill
  1. Thread shrimp and peach chunks alternately onto soaked skewers so the pieces hold together during grilling.
  2. Grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway, until shrimp are pink and opaque and peaches are caramelized.
  3. Transfer to a platter and drizzle any remaining marinade butter over the top for a glossy finish.
Serve
  1. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for bright, fresh flavor.

Notes

For best caramelization, cut peaches into similar-size chunks and don’t overcrowd the grill; rotate once halfway so shrimp cook evenly. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or on the grill briefly. Freezing is not recommended because shrimp texture can get rubbery after thawing. Dietary swap: use agave syrup instead of honey for a similar sweetness.
