Ingredients

1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (4 medium)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon or lime peel
1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 uncooked medium shrimp (about 1 lb), peeled, deveined
Lemon or lime slices, halved, if desired
8 bamboo skewers (5 or 6 inch)

Steps:

In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except shrimp and skewers. Add shrimp to bag. Seal bag; turn to coat shrimp. Place bag in large bowl. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to marinate but no longer than 8 hours.
Soak skewers in water 30 minutes to prevent burning. Meanwhile, heat gas or charcoal grill.
Drain shrimp; discard marinade. Thread 3 shrimp and 3 lemon slices on each skewer, leaving 1/4-inch space between each shrimp.
Place shrimp on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 5 to 7 minutes, turning once, until shrimp are pink. Serve warm.
