  • Arrange the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the skewers with the smoky sweet chili sauce.
  • Transfer to the center oven rack and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and move the pan to the upper rack. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until lightly charred in spots.
  • Remove the skewers from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve with lime wedges alongside.

I tried this recipe and the skewers were overcooked. I think I'll try grilling them next time instead of baking them.

These skewers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

These skewers are a bit pricey, but they're worth it. The quality of the shrimp is excellent and the glaze is to die for.

These are a great appetizer or main course. I served them with jasmine rice and a side of vegetables.

I love how easy these skewers are to make. I'm not a very experienced cook, but I was able to whip these up in no time. They're also really versatile - I've served them with rice, noodles, and even salad.

These shrimp skewers were a hit at my last party! The smoky-sweet chili glaze was the perfect balance of flavors, and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making these again.
