Grilled Shrimp with Honey, Lime & Mint Glaze

This tasty meal not only comes together quickly but we used the same recipe as a glaze on the shrimp & as a dressing for a fruit salad. I also liked it mixed into jasmine rice on the side. It has a sweet & tangy summery flavor, that one could almost call tropical. For two people this glaze recipe made enough to cook the shrimp, dress the fruit salad & have a little more left to serve on top.

Use any extra glaze as a dressing on the fruit of your choice.

We used strawberries, peaches & horned melon.

    Fingah lickin' good...nice trio of flavourings. When the shrimp forms the letter C, they're cooked....when the shrimp form the letter O - overdone! I see C's all around.

    horned melon looks a tad bit scary... I might try one this summer. LOL

    I love this recipe. One suggestion I have is that you try using the galilee starthistle blossom honey from Holy Food Imports. I find it to be one of the best honeys money can buy.
