Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion to the marinade. Toss gently to coat all ingredients.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between shrimp and different vegetables.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy shrimp and vegetable skewers.

Notes

For extra spice, add more sriracha to the marinade.
Other vegetables like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or pineapple chunks can be added.
If you don’t have a grill, these skewers can be cooked in a hot oven or on a grill pan.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
