This is a recipe for Dijon and Honey Glazed Shrimp which is simple and quickly grilled. Ready in about 15 minutes, the sauce makes a beautiful glaze. An easy and flavorful recipe for grilled shrimp.
My two Webers are definitely front and center stage this weekend. I plan to grill, then I’m going to grill and then I think I’ll grill some more. Let’s take a look at this grilled shrimp recipe.
First out of the chutes is Dijon Honey Glazed Shrimp that’s grilled and glazed. I wanted to keep it light on Friday evening, as lunch that day was a big old heavy ham and Manchego sandwich. So serving up a side of my Pasta Salad and skewers of Glazed Honey Shrimp sounded PERfect.
I found a beautiful package of jumbo shrimp which were labeled “Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp“. I was surprised to see these available with this oil tragedy, but the seafood counter was just too busy to inquire about their origin. Perhaps from Texas?
Keep Grilled Shrimp Simple With Flavor
Simple please! I find that when grilling shrimp, size and simplicity matter. We love the delicate and sweet flavor of shrimp and when I find good quality shrimp, don’t like to overwhelm them with complicated sauces. This honey glazed shrimp easy falls into that category.
Here are some simple flavor ideas for grilled shrimp
- Sometimes just a slather of melted butter lightly flavored with garlic is nice.
- Or a quick baste with some olive oil in which some of fresh herbs have been added.
- We also like a light brush of Caesar salad dressing adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese at the end.
- Always love a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Obviously for grilling, the larger shrimp are more practical.
This is a quick and easy recipe, had it for years, it’s my go to “dinner in 10 minutes” entrée.
Recipe for Grilled Dijon and Honey Glazed Shrimp
Sweet and tangy and I love the shiny finish that seals in the tender texture of the meat. Please keep in mind, this honey shrimp does not work well using an indoor grill pan. You need the flame and grates from an outdoor grill so the heat can surround the shrimp and the glaze can drip over and off it. A grill pan will allow the shrimp to cook in the liquid of the glaze, and keep it from searing and shining.

Turned this one in for a surf and turf dinner tonight. Came out fabulous and got rave reviews. Your recipes never disappoint! Thank you so much!
Robert, thanks so much and thanks for taking the time to let me know.
Love simple dishes on the grill!!
I am jealous. You own two Webers? I know life isn’t fair.
Thanks for sharing the shrimp recipe. I will give it a try.
I have a gas grill and a charcoal grill. Don’t be too jealous, I stole the charcoal grill at an Ace Hardware sale. A $350 grill for about $70.
Yum! Those look delicious! I just found you through roti and rice and am your newest follower. You have a great blog!
Son in K.C. fell in love with your state- wants to move there someday…
When you come to visit you’re welcome to a Colorado style meal from the Highlands Ranch kitchen. (if you behave) :=)
Oh man, that shrimp glaze sounds PERFECT! I’m saving this in my database to use the next time I have some shrimp on the BB. Beautiful pictures!
Thanks Vickie! I think it’s pretty perfect. Let me know what you think when you get a chance to try it.
whoop whoop… love the grill and shrimp and tortellini… how fun
Nice. Grilling shrimp should be a national pastime.
I like to go with a small amount of teriyaki glaze and a squeeze of lime.
I’m liking that Teriyaki glaze and lime!!! Next time.
Those look wonderful even after I just got back from the neighborhood bbq!
There’s always room for shrimp.
I want to come grill at your house! The shrimp looks amazing with the pasta salad. I checked out that recipe too. Simple and how can you go wrong with bacon. 🙂

Definitely a grilling weekend with the weather so nice outside. Sounds like a great dressing.
Honey and mustard work like mad with shrimp- hot or cold!
I’m liking that thought of cold…I’m thinking like a shrimp cocktail dip?
That’s how I use it!
Simple and tasty. Two things I love! Sounds yummy =)
