Ingredients

32 peeled/deveined large shrimp (about 1 lb)
¾ cup silken tofu
⅓ cup Key lime juice
3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon honey, divided
16 (6-inch) wooden skewers
2 tablespoons olive oil spread (or margarine)
3 teaspoons blackening seasoning, divided

Steps

Thaw shrimp if needed. Preheat grill on medium; drain tofu. Place tofu, lime juice, and 3 tablespoons honey in medium bowl; whisk until blended and smooth. Place 4 shrimp on work surface; lay hand flat on shrimp and push pointed end of 1 skewer through tails, then 1 skewer through heads so shrimp lie flat. Repeat with remaining 28 shrimp and 14 skewers (wash hands).
Combine spread, 2 teaspoons blackening seasoning, and remaining 1 teaspoon honey in small bowl until blended; brush evenly over shrimp skewers.
Place skewers on grill. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon blackening seasoning. Cook 2 minutes; flip and cook 1–3 more minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Transfer to serving platter; serve with lime sauce.

Chef's Tip: Shrimp may be cooked in grill pan preheated on medium and coated lightly with oil; cook time will be about the same.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
