Combine honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and olive oil in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until a uniform marinade is achieved, creating a glossy mixture.
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp olive oil
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl. Toss gently with tongs until all shrimp are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to marinate.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Test for readiness by holding your hand above the grates; it should be hot enough to make you pull back quickly.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers or place them directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, observing for a change in color and slight charring. The shrimp should turn opaque and develop grill marks.
