Sweet, summer peaches are available for a short amount of time each year. It would be tragic to not create delicious recipes to feature them in all their glory. This time around we are using them to make these quick and easy Grilled Shrimp and Peach Kabobs with a sweet and zesty glaze. They are the perfect weeknight meal that your friends and family will love.

How to make Grilled Shrimp and Peach Kabobs

Preheat gas or charcoal grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat.

For the glaze: 

Mix honey, lime zest and juice, oil, ginger, paprika and cayenne together in a small bowl.

If honey is too thick, heat in the microwave on high for 25 to 35 seconds until heated enough to blend easily. Set aside.

For the kabobs:

Thread eight skewers alternating between the peach wedges, shrimp and bell pepper squares.

Recipe Notes & Tips

  • Shrimp are cooked through at 145 degrees.
  • I drizzled half of the glaze over the kabobs and then brushed it over the entire surface so there would be no need to “cook” the glaze after the kabobs were cooked. Clean the brush or use a fresh one before brushing on the remaining glaze.
  • Feel free to use any color bell pepper, I just thought the orange was pretty.
  • Peach or apricot preserves could be substituted for the honey if you prefer.
