Directions
1. Preheat your oven to grill or broil setting on medium-high heat. Place a rack on the top third half of the oven, just below the middle of the oven.
2. Combine 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons lime juice, garlic, oil, and ginger in a shallow bowl. Adjust seasoning and add the shrimps and allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
3. In the meantime, soak up wooden toothpicks in a bowl of water and cut bacon slices in half.
4. Wrap one bacon slice around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick. Arrange the prawns in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
5. Grill or broil for 10 minutes until bacon is crispy and sizzling. Turn and grill or broil for 5 minutes more until shrimps are cooked through.
6. While shrimp/prawns are grilling, prepare the dipping sauce by combining 1/3 cup honey and 3 tablespoons lime juice in a small bowl. Serve the shrimp with the sauce. Enjoy!
