Spicy Shrimp & Watermelon Kabobs

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
My three sons can polish off a watermelon in one sitting. Before they dig in, I set aside a few slices to make these zesty shrimp kabobs. —Jennifer Fisher, Austin, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (1 inch), divided
  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • Minced fresh cilantro, optional

Directions

  • 1. For glaze, place soy sauce, chili sauce, honey, garlic and 2 cups watermelon in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Transfer to a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat until mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
  • 2. On 4 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread shrimp, onion and remaining watermelon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Place kabobs on an oiled grill rack over medium heat. Grill, covered, 3-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink, brushing with remaining glaze during the last 2 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with reserved glaze.
