Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into 1-inch squares
- 4 slices Bacon, cut into small squares
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges, for serving
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a large bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by chopping the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch squares. Cut the bacon into small square pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of shrimp, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and bacon until the skewers are filled, leaving some room at the ends for handling.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and slightly charred and the bacon is crispy.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the skewers.
Enjoy your Alambre De Camarones Grilled Shrimp Skewers with a side of rice, tortillas, or a fresh green salad!
