When it comes to grilling, I've often found that simple is best, especially with delicate shellfish such as shrimp and scallops. Here a light lemon glaze is sweetened with honey for viscosity and seasoned with mustard and garlic for piquancy. Skewering shrimp makes cooking extra easy and adds to its presentation. -- Jeanne Besser
