About 1 pound shrimp, deveined and peeled
About 3 cups of frozen mango cubes, slightly thawed

6 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp lime zest
4 cloves crushed garlic
4 tsp minced fresh ginger
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp honey

How You Prepare:

Combine the marinade ingredients with the shrimp and marinade for 45 minutes. Skewer shrimp on soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers interspaced with mango chunks and grill until done.  Serve immediately.
