Breaking out the sweet and spicy flavor combo for a Honey Sriracha BBQ Shrimp Recipe! I took some shrimp, seasoned them, skewered them and tossed them on the grill. While they were cooking I quickly mixed together my honey sriracha BBQ sauce and brushed it on top of the shrimp right as they were in their last few phases of cooking. Quick, easy and tasty! Keep reading for all the fun details of this recipe.
Season’s Greetings from the Shrimpies
It all started with two bowls. One bowl for the future Honey Sriracha BBQ Shrimp and one for my array of shrimp seasoning ingredients. My seasoning included salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and brown sugar. Mix those all together before tossing it into the bowl with the shrimp. Mix the shrimp around until they’re all coated in a nice layer of seasoning.
Up next, the skewers. I used wooden skewers for this recipe. They’re small in diameter, making a great option for our Honey Sriracha BBQ Shrimp! It’s important to highlight that I soaked these wooden skewers in water before placing the shrimp on them. The wood will hold some of the water they’ve been soaked in, making it less likely that they’ll catch fire during the cooking process.

Honey Sriracha BBQ Beauties
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill once the coals are hot and ready. You’ll also want to add the sauce bowl at this time along with all the honey sriracha BBQ ingredients. We have to move quickly here because the skrimp cooks so fast and you’ll want the sauce to have time to combine before brushing it on the shrimp.
Make sure to keep an eye on the shrimp and flip them as needed. When they’re almost finished cooking, take a basting brush and spread a generous layer of that delicious honey sriracha BBQ sauce on top of the shrimp. Then, let the shrimp finish cooking and pull them from the grill.
Shrimp Serving
Serving up these Honey Sriracha BBQ Shrimp was super easy. I actually left them on the skewers and placed them straight on a serving platter. They made a nice centerpiece for dinner with my family! Cheers!

Shrimp were excellent. I didn’t have time to cook in the smoker so oven baked them at 450, about 4 mins per side. Sauce and seasoning were easy and solid. Had the shrimp over some angel hair that was just garlic and olive oil and home made pesto with some pine nuts roasted. Quick yummy meal!!
Very Good and delicius.
