• 0.25 cup Dark rum
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dark rum, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring 4-5 shrimp per skewer. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Brush the shrimp skewers with olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with light char marks.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled shrimp skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
