Preparation
- Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Arrange one rack in the center and one rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Make the sauce: Add ¼ cup (60 ml) sweet chili sauce, the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, liquid smoke, and garlic to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Build the skewers: Onto each wooden skewer, thread 1 piece of bell pepper, 2–3 pieces of red onion, 1 shrimp, and 1 piece of mango. Repeat to make a second layer. Continue with the remaining ingredients and skewers.
- 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.
- Enjoy!
