Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Marinade

We love, love, love Siracha in this house and use it as a compliment to almost every dish. This recipe is so good, and the best part about it is that the marinade can be made to your liking. I honestly just eyeball the ingredients and put it in a freezer bag for a couple hours. I then soak the skewers and put the shrimp on the skewers (through the body and tail to make sure they stay on the skewer) and cook the shrimp about 1-2 minutes on each side over high heat or just until they turn pink.

1 pound frozen shrimp with tails on (thawed)
1 ziplock bag
4 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of lime juice
5 tablespoons siracha
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons of vinegar

Combine ingredients in a freezer bag in fridge for two hours. Cook shrimp over high heat. Either serve over rice or on corn tortillas, cheese, cabbage and salsa verde to make tacos.
