Preparation

Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils ready.

Step 1: Mixing marinade

Combine all marinade ingredients (ginger, garlic, cilantro, honey, lime juice, jalapeño, salt, black pepper, and olive oil) in a bowl. Stir and set aside.

Step 2: Making brochettes

Skewer a cherry tomato, a jumbo shrimp, some onion, another shrimp, a couple of bell pepper cubes, another shrimp, and another tomato.

Repeat to make 12 of these.

Bathe the skewers with the marinade. Let them rest covered in the fridge for at least two hours.

Step 3: Grilling

The process is the same whether you use a gas, charcoal, or stovetop grill.

Step 4: Serving brochettes

Remove from the grill and serve right away.

Top tips

If you want a milder garlic flavor, you can use a tablespoon of garlic powder instead.
For a mileder spicy touch, add a teaspoon of chili powder, paprika.
I used half a green one and half a yellow one for visual interest, you can do that, or use just one color.

Serving suggestions

You just need a nice salad to serve with these shrimp en brochette, try this summery watermelon and feta salad, or this fava bean salad.

Some grilled vegetables or grilled pineapple also go great witht them.
